Bengals win high-scoring game over Galveston
Box Score
The LSU Eunice baseball team used a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth to come away with a 13-12 win over Galveston College on Tuesday night in a game that nearly took four hours.
The two teams combined for 30 hits in addition to their 25 runs and used a total of 12 pitchers in the game, while the Bengals stranded 14 base runners and Galveston left 12 runners on base.
“It was a good college baseball game that was back-and-fourth the whole time,” head coach Jeff Willis said.
The Bengals (28-3) plated three runs in the ninth for the win after the game went back and forth all night with six lead changes, as they scored four runs in the first inning and three runs in the fourth, sixt and ninth for the win.
Galveston (23-16) jumped on top with three runs in the top of the first inning, four runs in the third, two runs in the fourth and eighth innings and a single run in the ninth.
Stefan Trosclair and Ray Veit both finished with three hits to lead the offensive attack, while Garrett Deschamp, Buddy McCoy and Evan Powell each finished with three RBI for the Bengals.
McCoy and Deschamp each notched two hits, while Casey Rodrigue and Landon Thibodeaux each added one hit.
Trosclair drove home two RBIs and Veit brought home an RBI on his night as well.
Ryan Domangue, the fifth and final LSU Eunice pitcher of the night, was credited with his first win of the season.
After Galveston added a run in the top of the ninth to push the lead to three, the Bengals saw Rodrigue lead off the bottom of the frame with a walk before Trosclair singled to left. Thibodeaux dropped down a perfect bunt for an infield base hit as everyone was safe to load the bases with no one out.
Deschamp reached and Rodrigue scored on a Galveston error before McCoy drew a bases loaded walk to tie the game and Powell followed with his own walk to allow Thibodeaux to trot home with the winning run.
The Bengals and Galveston wrap up their two-game set tomorrow afternoon with a 4 p.m. first pitch for a game that is available on Bengal All-Access and over the airwaves on KVPI 92.5 FM.
