ABILENE – Abilene Christian got a walk-off win to spoil Utah Valley's late rally and the Wildcats claimed the series with a 5-4 win.
Â
Brett Lanman pitched six strong innings, allowing one run on two hits but the Wolverines scored a run in the eighth and two in the ninth to tie the game.
Â
Maddox Miesse led off the bottom of the ninth with a double and Holden Rook entered as a pinch runner. After a sacrifice bunt by Jack Nielsen moved Rook to third and Benjamin Greer was intentionally walked, Reese Borho singled an 0-2 pitch down the right field line for the game-winner.
Â
Borho had gotten the scoring started in the third inning with a successful squeeze bunt to bring home Greer. Zandt Payne added a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0 in the third.
Â
Two more ACU runs scored on an error in the eighth after the Wolverines had tied the game.
Â
The Wildcats had six hits, led by Borho with two. Gino D'Alessio, Miesse, Greer and Aaron Staehely added one each.
Â
Caden Greanead was credited with the win.
Â
The Cats won the series for their fourth consecutive 2-1 series win to improve to 8-4 in Western Athletic Conference games. ACU steps outside of league play to take on Texas in Austin at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
