HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Eagles stormed out of the gates in the first, taking a 4-0 lead
  • The highlight of the inning was Chronis's two-run double to left center field with one out
  • Charleston Southern responded with four runs of their own in their half of the inning to tie it up
  • But Hernandez's sac fly to left field broke the tie in the next trip up offensively for the Eagles
  • The Buccaneers knotted the score at five at the end of the third as Mcaskie came in to score on a wild pitch with two outs
  • In the fourth, Hernandez clobbered a two-run shot that hit the scoreboard and put Winthrop back in the lead, 7-5 but Charleston Southern once again tied the contest by scoring two runs on a fielder's choice
  • Winthrop re-claimed the lead 8-7 in the top of the fifth on Natividad's RBI groundout but the Buccaneers made it 8-8 in the bottom of the stanza on Smith's two-out RBI double to left center field
  • Eagles went ahead on Benhardt's RBI double to left center field and Chronis coming in to score on an error by the Buccaneers, both with one out in the top of the sixth
  • Then the Eagles got some big insurance runs on consecutive RBI doubles by Hernandez and Kropf with one out
  • Charleston Southern didn't go away, cutting it to one in their half of the seventh with three runs
  • In the top of the eighth Winthrop put runners on the corners with two outs but a flyout ended the threat
  • Charleston Southern loaded the bases with one out with a chance to win the game trailing 12-11
  • McCaskie's groundout brought in Collins to tie the score and force extra innings
  • Winthrop failed to score in their half of the 10th but so did the Buccaneers
  • Charleston Southern then loaded the bases with no one out and on the next play Martin was hit by a pitch to end the game
