Spartans' Baseball Concludes Season With Fifth Walk-Off Victory in Extra Innings Over John Carroll

CLEVELAND - The Case Western Reserve baseball team ended its 2015 season in style as sophomore rightfielder Josh Neal (Gaithersburg, Md./St. John's College) singled in sophomore catcher Eric Eldred (Tecumseh, Mich./Tecumseh) with the winning run in extra innings to give the Spartans a 7-6 victory over John Carroll at Nobby's Ball Park.

The walk-off was the fifth of the season for the Spartans, who split the doubleheader after earning the win in the completion of a suspended game not finished at John Carroll earlier this month.

In the second game of the doubleheader, the Spartans tied the game 1-1 in the third inning when senior third baseman Andrew Gronski (Hilliard, Ohio / Hilliard Davidson) singled in freshman shortstop Alex Capetillo (Cincinnati, Ohio/Turpin) with two outs.
