Charleston Walks it Off in Game One Against Findlay, Wins 4-3

CHARLESTON, W. Va. – The University of Charleston baseball team won game one of their doubleheader on Saturday against the Oilers from the University of Findlay in walk-off fashion. Trailing 3-2 headed into the bottom of the seventh inning, the Golden Eagles worked some one-out magic as Colby Johnson walked to open the inning, and stole second base. Drew Hefner then advanced Johnson to put runners on the corners before the bases were loaded and James Heavilin brought in two runs on a walk off single through the right side of the infield.
