Wheeler: The rise of Jeremy Eierman

Down 5-4, with possibly the season on the line, Jeremy Eierman stepped up to the plate.

He had a runner on, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth in Game 1 of the NCAA-Fayetteville Regional. If the Bears were to lose, they would have to win four straight games to advance to the super regionals.

Eierman hit a walk-off home run to opposite field.

Fast forward to the regional championship.

Tied at one in the top of the sixth, Eierman had a runner on. It was win-or-go-home for the Bears.

Again, Eierman sent a home run to opposite field.
