Baseball Falls in Extra Innings at EKU
RICHMOND, Ky. - Xavier baseball fell in extra innings at Eastern Kentucky, with the Colonels scoring the run with two outs in the bottom of the 11th to top the Musketeers 3-2 on Tuesday evening.
EKU took the early lead after manufacturing an unearned run in the first, but Xavier pulled even in the third, with Jeff Holtz leading off the inning with a double, moving to third on a ground ball and coming home on a single from Jack Housinger to tie the game 1-1.
Xavier's pitchers didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning, when back-to-back hits to lead off the inning helped the Colonels move back in front 2-1.
