No. 14 LA Tech walks off with nightcap in extra innings
RUSTON, La. – Parker Bates belted a three-run walk-off home in the eighth to lead No. 14 Louisiana Tech to a 10-7 win in extra innings of the nightcap of a pair of seven-inning games on Saturday at J.C. Love Field.
The Roadrunners were searching for their second win in the four-game series at the high-octane Bulldogs, after posting a 7-5 win on Friday night and falling 4-1 in the opener of the Saturday doubleheader.
UTSA fell behind after allowing a run in the first before bouncing back with a three-run second to take a two-run lead. The Bulldogs plated a single run in the fourth to cut the lead to one but UTSA got the tally back in the top of the fifth.
