HATTIESBURG, Miss — Louisiana Tech first baseman Cody Daigle hit a 2-1 pitch over the left field wall in the bottom of the tenth inning to advance to Saturday in the Conference USA Baseball Championship, presented by Buffalo Wild Wings, and upend No. 13-ranked Florida Atlantic at Pete Taylor Park.
The regular season champions loss in the win or go home contest finish 38-17, and will wait to see if the NCAA chooses the Owls among the five or six teams in Conference USA for the NCAA Tournament coming up next week. LA Tech improves to 39-17, no doubt lifting a RPI today for the Bulldogs above the No.
