Hayden Senger has quite the knack for coming in clutch.
The junior catcher hit a walk-off single against Xavier in the first round of the Joe Nuxhall Classic last Tuesday, before hitting a game-tying double and scoring the winning run against Cincinnati in the bottom of the ninth on Wednesday. The walk-offs allowed Miami to clinch a second-straight Nuxhall Classic championship.
“It feels really good to be the champion,” Senger said. “We love winning this thing. [The Nuxhall Classic] is probably the important week of our season.”
Senger went a combined 4-for-9 at the plate against Xavier and UC , while driving in three runs, scoring three more and walking once.
