'Dons Rally in Ninth For 9-7 Win at Missouri
3/8/2024 6:56:00 PM | Baseball
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- A three-run ninth inning lifted the Purdue Fort Wayne baseball team to a 9-7 victory at Missouri on Friday (March 8). It is the second win for the Mastodons over a Power 5 school this year after winning at Indiana earlier this season.
The 'Dons entered the ninth down 7-6. However Grant Thoroman hit a one-out two-run home run to put the Mastodons up for good at 8-7. Two batters later Justin Osterhouse hit his second home run of the day to give the Mastodons some cushion at 9-7.
The 'Dons got on the board immediately, starting their scoring with three runs in the top of the first inning off the bat of a three-run home run by Osterhouse.
Purdue Fort Wayne put up two runs in the third, punctuated with an RBI triple off the bat of Nick Sutherlin, which brought the Mastodon lead to 5-1. The Tigers took their first lead of the game in the eighth at 7-6 thanks to a three-run inning. However it only set up the Mastodons' dramatic ninth.
Senior Kevin Fee (2-0) got the win out of the bullpen for Purdue Fort Wayne. The right-hander went 1.2 shutout innings, giving up one hit, two walks and striking out one.
Offensively, the Mastodons were paced by the freshman Osterhouse, who went 4-for-5 on the day with a double, two home runs and five RBI. Sutherlin was a home run short of the cycle, going 3-for-5 with a double, a triple and an RBI.
Mac Ayres got a no-decision for the 'Dons. He struck out five Tigers hitters, going 5.2 innings.
Missouri was led offensively by Trevor Austin, who went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and three RBI.
The Mastodons are now 5-9. Missouri is 6-7. The 'Dons and Tigers will play a doubleheader on Saturday.
