Trailing 9-3 late in Game 2 of the doubleheader, the Hilltoppers staged a dramatic comeback to clinch a 16-11 win and salvage a split on the afternoon.
After falling 11-7 in Game 1, then facing a potential sweep with a six-run deficit after six innings in Game 2, WKU scored 12 runs in the next two frames to stun the Thundering Herd and improve to 8-6-1 in C-USA play.
In the opener, the score was tied 2-all after four innings, with starter Troy Newell allowing a two-run home run to Geordon Blanton in the second and the Hilltoppers answering with two of their own two innings later.
