Game of the day

Charleston Southern 7, Lehigh 6

Alex Urlaub scored on a bases-loaded wild pitch in the ninth as the Buccaneers completed a comeback to take the deciding game of the three-game series.

Lehigh took a 3-0 lead in the second, fell behind 4-3 in the third and moved on top 6-4 in the fifth.

Peter Werth led off the CSU eighth with a single and coach Marc MacMillan to have Aidan McAskie pinch-hit was rewarded with a game-tying home run.

Urlaub battled back from a 1-2 count to open the Buccaneers' ninth. Chandler Tuopo singled, and Dakota Miller reached on an error to load the bases. A wild pitch followed, allowing Urlaub to score an unearned run.

CSU's win was one of five walk-offs involving state teams on Sunday:

* Kai Tullos had a sacrifice fly to end Spartanburg Methodist's win over USC Salkehatchie. The Pioneers also beat East Georgia earlier in the day.
* Cole Messina's second two-run homer of the game gave South Carolina an eight-inning walk-off win over Belmont.

* Matthew Lively's two-run single made The Citadel a run-rule winner in the eighth inning of its sweep-clinching win over Akron.

* A balk scored Isaiah Canty in the bottom of the seventh to end the first game of Benedict's doubleheader with Tuskegee. Canty stole six of the Tigers' 17 bases in the win. Benedict added 10 steals in the night cap, but Tuskegee won.
