Zack Soria scored the winning run on a wild pitch by Nick Sandlin in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift FIU to a 6-5 win over No. 13 Southern Miss and send the Panthers to the Conference USA tournament in Hattiesburg, Miss. starting next Wednesday.
Soria led off the bottom of the 10th by lining his first triple of the season down the right field line. Sandlin (3-3) then intentionally walked Zach Files and Irving Lopez to bring Rey Perez to the plate with the bases loaded.
