MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — JT Mabry thought he'd get a slider. After going up in the count 2-0, with his teammate Fausto Lopez on second after a passed ball, Mabry waited on his pitch in the bottom of the 11th.
"I got into a good count and he had to come at me," Mabry said. "And I did what I did."
A few pitches later, after a 49er mound visit, he did what he did, punching a line drive down the left field line to plate Lopez from second, giving Middle Tennessee baseball a 4-3 extra-innings walk-off win to open the series against Charlotte.
