Leatherneck Baseball Rallies for 12-9 Extra-Inning Win at Southern Indiana

By Emma Hicken, Leatherneck Athletic Communications

MACOMB, Ill. - Western Illinois battled back on Saturday, taking down Southern Indiana 12-9 in 10 innings after trailing for most of the afternoon. The Leathernecks found themselves down 1-6 heading into the seventh, but everything changed in that inning. WIU exploded for seven runs, highlighted by a three-run homer from Wandel Campana, to grab an 8-6 lead.

Southern Indiana didn't back off, tying things up at 9-9 in the eighth to force an extra inning, but the Leathernecks were ready to answer. In the 10th, WIU recorded three runs with strong hits and productive at-bats to take control.

Campana led the way with five RBIs, while Liam Bushey recorded three hits and a home run. Gage Hoover also chipped in three hits as part of a 12-hit effort for the Leathernecks.

On the mound, Harrison Dubois came up clutch, keeping control over the final three innings to lock in the win.
