C-USA Report
HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Extra innings have not been kind to Old Dominion the past few years when it comes to elimination baseball. Seventh-seeded FIU scored twice to break a tie in the top of the 11th inning and claim a 3-1 victory in an elimination bracket game Thursday afternoon at the 2016 Conference USA Baseball Championship at Pete Taylor Park.
Sixth-seeded ODU, which exited the 2015 baseball tournament with a 2-0 loss in 12 innings to Southern Miss, loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the 11th inning, but catcher Kyle Beam popped out to second base and designated hitter Will Morgan to not only end the game but the Monarchs’ season.
