Murray State baseball finished the last game of a five-game homestand with yet another walk-off win at Johnny Reagan Field. The Racers managed to outlast Southern Illinois University in an 11-inning contest that resulted in a 5-4 victory for the Racers.
The Salukis bested Murray State earlier on in the season and came to Reagan Field 33-14 on the season. However, some key bullpen pitching and timely hitting helped the Racers secure the win and equalize the season series against SIU.
“You never get tired of winning,” said Head Coach Dan Skirka. “And those are sweet. The guys fought. We were down early, came back and just had some really clutch performances. A couple guys out of the bullpen were lights-out.”
