Nashville, Tenn. – Sophomore lefthander David Price struck out eight batters in five scoreless innings to lead the Black squad to a 5-0 win over the Gold team Friday night in the first game of the Black and Gold series at Hawkins Field.

UCLA transfer Parker Hanks capped off the impressive night for the Black squad with a two-run homer over the leftfield wall in the ninth.
