Monroe, La. - It appeared ULM had scaled the 10-run mountain they faced, and still had a chance to win the game or force extra innings.
Instead, the Warhawks came up a run short.
After trailing 12-2 going to the bottom of the seventh inning, the Warhawks (5-8 overall) rallied to seemingly tie the game at 13 on a grand slam by Chad Bell in the bottom of the ninth. However, McNeese State (9-5 overall) appealed to home plate, claiming a ULM baserunner had missed the plate in the celebration. The home plate umpire agreed, saying Braedon Barrett, who was on third base before the home run to right center, did not touch the plate.
