Walk-Off Weekend: Charleston Scores Three in the 7th Inning, Defeats OVU

CHARLESTON, W. Va. – The University of Charleston baseball team walked it off for the second time this weekend, beating the Fighting Scots from Ohio Valley by a score of 3-2 after working some seventh inning magic to seal the win. In the inning, Pete Costigan singled to open it up before being pinch ran for by Griffin Adkins. After Mitchell Vincent pinch hit for Jesse Elliott, he singled and advanced Adkins to third on an error by the left fielder to put runners on the corners. After OVU pitcher Klark Waterman retired the next two batters, Colby Johnson drew a walk to load the bases with two outs. With Drew Hefner stepping to the plate, the senior catcher doubled to center past the outstretched glove of Juan Lopez, bringing all three runners around to capture victory.
