Â
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The Marshall University Baseball team (23-27, 13-13 SBC) registered a series-clinching 13-10 win on Saturday over the ULM Warhawks in game two on Saturday at Jack Cook Field.
Â
"It's good to get the win and secure the series win," Herd Baseball Head Coach Greg Beals said. "Tomorrow is going to be a great day celebrating our seniors. Getting an opportunity to get a sweep here at home in the last series."
Â
Cooper Hinson led the team with three hits while notching a pair of RBI. Jackson Golden registered four RBI with a pair of extra base hits on a double and a homer. Evan Bottone and AJ Havrilla collected a pair of hits and two RBI each with Mason Onate scoring three runs with two hits.
Â
Davis Gunn earned his first collegiate win throwing the final 1.1 innings giving up just two hits and striking out three.
Â
ULM tallied two runs in each of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings to tie the game 10-10. In the bottom of the eighth, Hinson led off with a single before Ethan Murdoch reached on a fielder's choice. Two wild pitches later Murdoch reached third with one out. Onate stood at the plate with a 3-1 count and smoked the pitch down the right-field line to score Murdoch and put MU back on top 11-10.
Â
After a groundout, Onate took third on a wild pitch before Golden hit a two-out, two-run homer to center to make it 13-10. Then in the top of ninth, after allowing a pair of singles Gunn struck out the side to end the game.
Â
Marshall opened the scoring with six runs in the bottom of the first with a Havrilla two-RBI double, a two-RBI single by Hinson and a two-RBI double from Bottone.
Â
After ULM grabbed a pair of runs in the top of the second, Murdoch scored Jackson Halter with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the second with Havrilla scoring on a Jack Smith groundout and Onate and Hinson scoring on a Golden double in the fourth.
