Ryan Squires, a freshman from Elizabethtown, Ky., hit what appeared to be a rare pinch-hit, inside-the-park home run to end the game for Campbellsville. While Squires cleared the bases, scoring three runs, on a ball hit to the top of the fence in right, by rule it is only a single since Danny Lapchak scored from third to give CU a 10-run lead in the seventh inning. Chance Kopacz and Squires crossed home on the play, as both teams kept playing not realizing the 10-run rule had been reached.

The win snaps a five-game losing skid, as Campbellsville hit .529 as a team, pounding out 18 hits. Seven Tiger batters had multiple hits, including a 3-fo-4, four RBI night for Rylan Chin. Craig Edwards followed hitting 2-for-3 with four RBIs and Marc Garza was also 2-for-3 with two RBIs.

The Tigers started their night with a leadoff triple by Tanner Nielsen, and scored on an RBI ground out by Kopacz to even the score, 1-1, in the bottom of the first. Mid-Continent scored an unearned run in the top half of the inning on a sac fly by Richard Arias.

CU was only getting started as it posted a run in the second on a solo homer by Michael Durham and two four-run innings to take a 10-1 lead after the fourth.

Lapchak led off the third inning with a solo homer, his fourth of the season, followed by a Kopacz double. Edwards, who hit 2-for-3 with four RBIs, drove in Kopacz with a base hit to right. Chin plated Edwards with a two-run shot to give CU its eventual winning run.

With the long ball doing most of the damage in the first three innings, Campbellsville went small in the fourth. Trent Seamons and Nielsen singled to start the inning and moved into scoring position on a sac bunt by Lapchak. Two walks helped plate the first run of the inning, while Edwards doubled to score two more. Chin hit a sac fly to left to score Garza before Edwards was thrown out at third.

Leading 10-1, the Tigers were retired in order in the fifth before the Mid-Continent Cougars battled with a three-run sixth. The runs, all unearned, scored with two outs, as Daniel Edwards and Spencer Anderson scored on errors and Cable McMinn later scored on a passed ball.

Campbellsville answered with a three-run bottom half of the inning. Garza doubled to score one, followed by a sac fly from Edwards and RBI single by Chin.

The win went to Tiger reliever Danny Bright, who pitched the fifth inning for CU. Campbellsville threw five pitchers in the game, with Dario Bortolotto getting the start. He allowed one unearned run off one hit, a walk and an error.

Woody Stewart was charged with the loss, giving up four runs off eight hits.

Campbellsville (26-10, 7-5 MSC) will return to Mid-South Conference action Friday night when it hosts St. Catharine College in the first game of a three-game series at Tiger Field. Games two and three will be played as a doubleheader Saturday.

Friday's game will be broadcast on WLCU 88.7 FM and WLCUfm.com.
