Bisons!!

Win!!

Wow. What a ballgame. Lipscomb 10, Gardner-Webb 9 in 15 innings.

The Bisons fell behind 4-0 early, but rallied for 6 runs in the 6th. The lead held until the 9th, but when Lipscomb found itself holding a 2-run lead 3 outs from the NCAA tournament, Gardner-Webb would not go gentle into the Big South Conference. The Bulldogs rallied to tie the game, forcing extras. Each team scored in the 13th, setting up what may be the most exciting inning of college baseball ever.

G-W started the inning by knocking Lipscomb ace Brandon McClurg out of the ballgame. With the runners on the corners and two outs, Fulginiti doubled home the go-ahead run. After an error plated the Bulldogs' 9th run, Lipscomb catcher and tournament MVP Caleb Joseph picked Fulginiti off third.

In the bottom of the 15th, Lipcomb started with 2 hits. A bunt set up second and third with 1 out. RBI single and groundout tie the game. Two more walks load the bases for Shane Simpkins, who shot a base hit through the right side for the win.

Lipscomb moves on to the Athens, Georgia regional where they will play the host school first.
