After giving up a three-run lead in the ninth, WKU defeated the Belmont Bruins on a walk-off fielder’s choice single from Sam McElreath.
“We just needed to find a way to win today and the Tops did and I’m really proud of what they did,” head coach John Pawlowski said. “Anytime we play Belmont it is always a challenge and midweek games are always a challenge.”
Jack Lambert made his first start this season for the Hilltoppers instead of coming off of the bench as a relief pitcher. He started off strong in the first inning, but it quickly went downhill after that.
