MOBILE, Ala. – Travis Swaggerty delivered a walk-off single to right field in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift No. 23 University of South Alabama baseball to a 3-2 series-opening win over No. 21 Louisiana-Lafayette Friday at Stanky Field.
Ben Gann drew a two-out walk from ULL right-hander Eric Carter in the bottom of the ninth, and was lifted for pinch-runner Dylan Hardy who stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by Cajun catcher Nick Thurman on the play. Swaggerty then worked the count full against Carter before serving the 3-2 pitch into right field to plate Hardy with the game-winning run.
