Wildcats fall in extras, regular season finale on tap
5/20/2022 11:59:00 PM | Baseball
HUNTSVILLE, Texas – The ACU baseball team was tripped up on Friday night, falling 6-5 in 12 innings against the Bearkats of Sam Houston. The Wildcats and Bearkats have now both picked up a win in the series, turning Saturday's regular season finale into a rubber match.
How It Happened
- Tanner Tweedt opened the scoring in the first frame, plating Grayson Tatrow from third with an early single up the middle.
- Sam Houston answered with three hits in the home half to take a 2-1 lead, but Bryson Hill homered on the eighth pitch of his at-bat in the fourth to pull ACU even.
- The two teams swapped zeroes until the top of the tenth, when Tatrow singled home a pair of runs to put the Wildcats back on top. Tweedt lifted a fly ball to right that was deep enough to again score Tatrow, giving the Purple and White a three-run lead.
- Four extra-base hits from the Bearkat offense again tied the game at 5-5, forcing the game to an 11th inning.
- A bases-loaded, two-out balk in the bottom of the 12th gave the Bearkats their first win of the series.
