Wayne State's 12-run ninth inning capped by a walk-off grand slam from Easton Mains gave the Wildcats an improbable 21-19 win over Concordia-St. Paul to cap a wild three-game NSIC baseball sweep over the Golden Bears Saturday afternoon at the Pete Chapman Baseball Complex in Wayne.  WSC has now won eight consecutive games improving to 16-9 on the season and 8-4 in the NSIC while CSP drops to 10-14 and 5-7 in the league.

            Junior lefthanded reliever Adam Eggert, the third of four WSC pitchers, earned the win (1-0) working 2/3 innings.  Reliever Jace Coleman came on in the seventh and recorded his second save of the season, allowing one hit with two walks and three strikeouts.
            The second game saw the Wildcats give up 10 runs in the final two innings, only to rally from a 19-9 deficit with an unthinkable 12-run ninth inning to cap a crazy 21-19 win.
            The Wildcats took an early 4-0 lead in the first inning on five hits to start the contest.  Heard and Cunningham had RBI doubles while Tony Coniglio chipped in a run-scoring single.

            Wayne State bounced back and came up with four runs to even the game at 9-9.  Madsen laced an RBI double to left center field for the first run.  Game Monosmith singled up the middle for the second run and Cunningham belted a two-run homer to right center field to tie the score.
            The Golden Bears took advantage of Wildcat errors and walks in the eighth, scoring six runs on just two hits and two WSC errors, to regain the lead at 15-9 and added another four runs in the top of the ninth for a 19-9 advantage.
            In the ninth, WSC had two outs and was trailing 19-11 when the 'Cats took advantage of two third strike advances – one on a throwing error and another on a wild pitch to prolong the inning.
            Paul Schuyler had a two-run single followed by three straight walks.  That brought Mains to the plate with the bases loaded and on a 1-0 pitch belted a homer over the left center field wall for an unthinkable 12-run ninth inning comeback and a 21-19 win.
            Wayne State had 21 runs on 18 hits and three errors with CSP recording 19 runs on just eight hits and four errors.
