Just got to Doug Kingsmore from Death Valley and our post-scrimmage interview with Dabo. The Tigers lead 1-0 in the 5th thanks to a 2-out RBI single by Parker in the 2nd. He drove in Hawkins, who singled and stole 2nd.

Keyshawn Askew is on the mound for his first start of the season. Monte has been using him on the weekend as a "second starter" or middle reliever.

Askew just gave up back to back singles in the 5th. Bad hop on a double play ball to short moved them to 2nd and 3rd with one out.

Winthrop tries for a squeeze play, Hack makes a nice play to hold the runner and make the out at 1st. 2nd and 3rd with 2 down.

TIED 1-1 AFTER 5.

Leadoff single by Majkowski! A rare hit for him. A hot Dylan Brewer up with Henderson on deck.

Majkoski steals 2nd! RISP with no outs for Brewer! Let's see if Monte has him bunt even though he's hot.

Ugh Clayton falls down on a sac bunt. Both runners safe with no outs.

Good grief sac bunt, and the throw to 3rd goes right off Parker's glove into left field. Guess he just took his eyes off it. That makes it 2-1 with 2nd and 3rd, no outs! Monte brings Gilbert in from the pen.

Gilbert walks the bases loaded on full count. At least they have the force at home now.

WHEW! Routine grounder to short, and Parker throws it in the dirt but Sharpe makes a great pick at 1st to end the inning. Parker needs to get it together! He made the error that just gave Winthrop the lead.

TIGERS TRAIL 2-1 M8.

FAIREY DELIVERS!!! Walk-off single wins the game!

Freshman Nick Hoffman picked up the win and is now 2-1 on the season. The Tigers are now 14-3 on the season and 6-0 in one-run games! They are 3-0 in the ACC and go on the road to play a good Wake team this weekend. I'll have post-game interviews shortly!
