Baseball Rallies to Secure 6-5 Walk-Off Win on Sunday

ST. CHARLES, Mo. --The Lindenwood baseball team (8-28, 5-7 OVC) fought back from tied 4-4 in the eighth inning to win in exciting fashion, rallying to earn a 6-5 walk-off victory in the 12th inning over the Morehead State Eagles (21-13, 7-2 OVC) on Sunday at Lou Brock Sports Complex.

Freshman Carson Subbert pitched well, going five innings, surrendering one run on four hits, walking one and striking out three.

Offensively, the Lions were paced by junior Logan Stevens, who went 2-for-6 on the day with a triple and an RBI.

Junior Bradley Chesterton also helped out for Lindenwood, putting together one hit in one trip to the plate while adding two RBI.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Trailing 3-0, the Lions first put runs on the board in the fourth inning. Lindenwood scored twice, with one run coming across on Ludwig's single.
