March 5, 20179 yr Baseball Drops Back-and-Forth Battle to Bowling Green, 6-5, in 11 - The Official Site of Morehead State University Athletics A four-run, go-ahead rally went all for naught for the Morehead State baseball team Saturday as Bowling Green rallied itself in a 6-5, 11-inning victory over the Eagles in the 2017 home opener. Morehead State, which had only one hit through five innings, fell to 5-5. "I was disappointed in our at-bats today. We have a veteran offensive team, and it's inexcusable not to make adjustments," said head coach Mike McGuire. After Morehead State scored four times in the bottom of the eighth, the Falcons (1-6) clubbed a game-tying two-run home run off reliever Cable Wright in the top of the ninth and then got a sacrifice fly and a solo homer in the 11th to seal their first win of the year. Sophomore catcher Hunter Fain tied the game in the eighth on a one-out, two-run single to left field. Sophomore leftfielder Niko Hulsizer then got the go-ahead runs across the plate on a two-run double to deep center field. Morehead State finished with 10 hits, led by two each from Hulsizer and junior second baseman Braxton Morris. Freshman Jake Ziegelmeyer (0-1) was tagged with the loss. Starter Aaron Leasher got a no decision while striking out nine in a seven-inning outing.
