KEY STRETCH OF GAME

After moving over to third base on a sacrifice bunt, Dean tried to score on Cable’s sharply-hit ground ball to Freeman at second base. Freeman made a good stop, but Nick Coomes was unable to dig out the low throw to the plate. The Privateers would add on two more runs on a RBI single by Magee and a bases-loaded walk to Palmer. Dean began his career at LSU. He is the younger brother of former Tigers first baseman Blake Dean, who is now the UNO coach.
