South's Ninth Inning Rally Culminates in Walk-Off Win

MOBILE, Ala. - South Alabama overcomes late challenge by Alabama State to win their eighth come-from-behind game of the season. 

ASU scored first with a solo home run in the second and an RBI single in the third. The Jags responded with a double that sent Will Turner from first to home. A sacrifice fly in the fourth tied the game at two apiece until the Jags got to work in the fifth.

South loaded the bases via a walk and two hit batters, where Brennan Holt struck a double down the right field line to score three. An error then allowed Holt to score to make it four in the inning. 

The Hornets responded over the next two innings to take the brief 6-5 lead until another sac fly tied it back up. 

In the top of the ninth, ASU was able to get Seth Carter in a jam and retake the 9-6 lead before Carter struck out the final two batters. Joseph Sullivan swung the momentum back to the home team with a lead-off home run. Jacob Haley kept the contact going with a single to left-center, and Holt reached base on a walk. Micah Morgan advanced the runners with a sac bunt and then ASU loaded the bases with an intentional walk. With the second pitch he saw, Tyler Borges sent the ball deep into the right field gap and as he reached second the go-ahead run reached home plate to secure the win.

Winning Pitcher: Seth Carter (1-0)
Losing Pitcher: Jose Almazan (2-3)
