CLEARWATER, FLA. – The University of Missouri-St. Louis baseball team scored five runs in the sixth inning en route to a 7-4 win over Cedarville on Friday night.
 
The Tritons, which defeated the Yellow Jackets, 35-10 two nights ago behind 29 hits, had been limited to just one hit – a third inning single from freshman Tom DeCero - until they exploded for six in the sixth.
Junior Tanner Hudson recorded an RBI single in that frame, while senior Dominic Orlando added an RBI double and DeCero a two-run double.
 
UMSL added a pair of insurance runs in the seventh inning on RBI singles from Hudson and Orlando.
 
Hudson, Orlando and DeCero finished with two hits and two RBIs each as the Tritons tallied nine as a team. UMSL improves to 9-1 with the victory, while Cedarville is now 3-4.
 
Junior Jake Renfrow improved to 3-0 on the mound, allowing three runs, including just one earned, on seven hits in six complete innings. He also struck out five and walked two.
 
Senior Austin Simokaitis picked up his sixth save in as many tries this year and recorded career save number 17, tying Kyle Renaud (2012-13) for second place on the career charts, one shy of the school record of 18 set by Bob Simpson from 1985-87.

The win was also career victory number 799 for head coach Jim Brady, now in his 31st season. Brady will aim for 800 tomorrow as UMSL wraps up its trip to Florida against Minnesota-Crookston at 11 a.m. (EST).
