Morehead, Ky. --
Morehead State erased a 4-1 deficit
and scored six runs in the seventh

outs in the third to take a 3-0
lead. After an errand throw,
Banks ripped a two-run double down
the right field line to bring home
Jim Lipinski and Brandon Caipen.
Matt Speas followed with an RBI
single to bring in Banks.
The two teams traded runs to bring the score to 4-1 before
Gentry ripped a three-run triple in
the bottom of the fourth to tie the
score at four.
Morehead grabbed leads of 5-4 and 7-5 before breaking the
game open in the seventh.
