Baseball Tops Rutgers, 3-2, on Wacky Walkoff

NORFOLK, Va. -- On a walkoff error on a pickoff attempt, the Old Dominion baseball team grabbed game one against Rutgers, 3-2, on a cold, soggy Friday afternoon at the Bud Metheny Complex.

After Rutgers (2-5) tied the game with an unearned run with two outs in the ninth, Old Dominion (6-2) had first and third with two outs in the bottom half.

The Scarlet Knights brought in a new pitcher, Tommy Genuario, and before he even delivered a pitch, soared a pickoff attempt to first base, where no one was covering, allowing Matt Schwarz to easily score from third.
