'Dons Walk Off in Wednesday Win Over Toledo in 13 Innings
4/24/2024 6:27:00 PM | Baseball
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Nick Sutherlin scored on a wild pitch in the 13th inning as Purdue Fort Wayne walked off Toledo on Wednesday (April 24) in a 4-3 win.
Sutherlin started the bottom of the 13th inning with a single into left field. He moved to second on a bunt before taking third on a wild pitch. Another wild pitch followed and Sutherlin sprinted home for the winning run.
Kevin Fee put the 'Dons in position to win in extra innings. After he came on in the ninth inning, he kept Toledo hitless for 4.2 innings and struck out four.Â
The 'Dons scored three of their four runs in the first two innings. In the first, Jacob Walker and Grant Thoroman hit back-to-back doubles to put Purdue Fort Wayne up 1-0 before adding another in the frame. The next inning, Thoroman drove in his second run of the game on an infield single.
Toledo scored one run in each of the fourth, fifth, and seventh innings to tie the game.
Fee (5-1) got the win for the 'Dons. It was a solid day for the Mastodon pitching staff that allowed just five hits in 13 innings. Drew Evans (4.1 IP), Carson Caudill (1.1 IP) and Jake Paymaster (2.2 IP) each contributed to the victory.Â
Ryan Hughes (0-1) took the loss for Toledo in allowing one run in the final third of an inning. The Rockets are now 19-22. Purdue Fort Wayne improves to 15-25.Â
The 'Dons will travel to Dayton for a three-game set with Wright State this weekend.Â
