Retrievers Rally for Another Walk-Off Win on Tuesday

BALTIMORE -- For the second-straight game, the UMBC Baseball team rallied from a late multi-run deficit to win via walk-off as it defeated visiting Towson, 6-5, in 11 innings on Tuesday night. 

Ehi Okojie complete the comeback from down 5-1 in the eighth when he smacked a two-strike, two-out single off the wall in left center to score Anthony Mascuilli from third and give the Dawgs the win. 

Mascuilli was the lone Retriever with multiple hits, as he went 2-for-4 with two walks and three runs scored. 

Towson took a 4-0 lead into the bottom of the fourth, but UMBC (19-16) got on the board when Mascuilli walked on four pitches to start the inning, stole second and then scored on an error. It would remain 4-1 until the seventh when the Tigers pushed another run across to extend the lead to 5-1.

The Retriever bats came alive in the bottom of the eighth, however, as Mascuilli ripped a leadoff double and scored on a Danny Wyatt one-out single. Okojie then walked and both he and Wyatt would score on a Derek Paris double to trim the deficit to 5-4. 

In the bottom of the ninth, Dylan Melton and Mascuilli drew back-to-back walks with one out, and then both moved up on a wild pitch before Melton scored on a Danny Orr sacrifice fly to tie the game. Neither team could score in the tenth, and UMBC won it in the eleventh when Mascuilli singled with one out, moved to second on a walk to Orr, advanced to third on a Wyatt flyout and then scored on Okojie's hit. 

Sergio Droz was tremendous in relief in picking up his first career win, as he retired the final seven batters he faced, striking out three.

UMBC heads to Maine this weekend for a big America East matchup.
