Ninth-inning blast lifts Monarchs past Marshall in regular-season finale

First Colonial graduate Chris Livers led off the ninth inning with a pinch-hit solo home run to lift Old Dominion to a 6-5 victory over Marshall in its regular-season finale Saturday at Appalachian Power Park.

The Monarchs (32-22, 15-15 Conference USA) salvaged the final game of the series after dropping the first two.

ODU will head to the C-USA tournament in Hattiesburg, Miss., where it will be the No. 6 seed and face tournament host and No. 3 seed Southern Miss on Wednesday.

A sacrifice fly by Turner Bishop (Kellam) gave the Monarchs a 1-0 lead in the second inning.
