WINTER HAVEN, Fla. - The University of Charleston baseball team rallied for an 11-10 victory over Saginaw Valley on Thursday afternoon (Mar. 11). 

Charleston got on the board first, scoring a run in the bottom of the first and third innings, respectively, to take a 2-0 lead.  The Cardinals would respond in the top of the fourth inning, as Kevin Dore hammered a three-run triple to center field to give SVSU the 3-2 advantage. 

After a Golden Eagle home run in the bottom of the fourth knotted the score at 3-3, strong rain would force the contest into a delay for two hours and 45 minutes. 

After play resumed, the Eagles would plate a run in the bottom of the fifth to take a single run lead, which would be quickly matched by the Cardinals.

Charleston would score two runs in its half of the sixth to take a 6-4 advantage.  The Cardinals, however, would respond with a huge inning in the top of the seventh, which made the score 10-6 headed into the final frame.

Charleston would respond, however, and score five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to walk-off with the 11-10 victory.

The second game was cancelled due to heavy rains in the Winter Haven area.
