AUSTIN, Texas – Eric Kennedy drilled a ninth-inning two-out walk-off double to propel No. 2 Baseball to a 4-3 victory over South Florida in the NCAA Austin Super Regional opener at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Saturday night.
With the score knotted at three runs apiece in the ninth, Silas Ardoin reached on a two-out fielding error. Kennedy stepped in and crushed the first pitch he saw to the base of the wall in deep center, bringing home Ardoin all the way from first.
Starting pitcher Ty Madden was stellar on the mound, pitching 6 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing three hits while walking four and striking out nine.
