Lindsey Wilson Walk-Off the Phoenix in Conference Opener

COLUMBIA, Ky.--Cumberland built a 7-0 lead but couldn't hold on as Lindsey Wilson stormed back with a seven-run sixth inning before walking off the Phoenix in the bottom of the ninth for a 10-9 victory to start conference play.

Cumberland jumped out to a huge lead after starting off the game with five runs in the first. The Phoenix retook the lead late, but three runs in the bottom of the ninth gave the Blue Raiders the win. 

Cumberland had 12 hits in the game to score nine runs. Wilser Then went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs. Dylan LaRue, Drew Dalton-Akiwumi, Rafael Garcia, and Gaines Haussin each collected two hits a piece. 

The Phoenix jumped out to a five-run lead in the first, capitalizing on an error and timely hitting. Wilser Then drove in the opening run with a sacrifice fly, and a miscue by the Blue Raiders allowed another to score. Rafael Garcia roped a two-run double before Trenton Duchscherer singled in another to cap the inning. 

Cumberland tacked on two more in the third as Gaines Haussin's RBI single and Drew Dalton-Akiwumi's run-scoring double extended the lead to 7-0.

Quinlan Wiley was sharp on the mound early, working five scoreless innings while having to manage an hour-long lightning delay. He exited with the Phoenix up 7-0 and was in line for the win giving up just four hits with four strikeouts. 

Marcelo Saldana entered in the sixth and  Lindsey Wilson's bats came alive. The Blue Raiders plated seven runs in the frame, highlighted by a grand slam from Andres Duran to tie the game.

Then put Cumberland back on top in the seventh with a solo homer down the left-field line, and Hunter Moser crossed the plate on a wild pitch in the eighth to give the Phoenix a 9-7 edge.

Up by two late, the Phoenix turned to Kyle Nyblod looking to close it out. Nyblod issued a walk to the first batter of the inning before getting a strikeout. Drake Young hit a single through the right side and then another walk loaded the bases to draw a pitching change and get Jake Green in. With the bases loaded, Tucker Hagan hit a two-run double to tie the game. An intentional walk with one out loaded the bases again to set up the force at home, but Amir Pineiro hit a sacrifice fly to bring in the winning run. 

Cumberland and Lindsey Wilson will meet for game two and game three tomorrow in Columbia beginning at 1:00 p.m.
