Lexington: Extra Innings

By Chris Glasser - June 02, 2006

At the end of nine innings, the game is tied 4-4. In the top half of the inning, Notre Dame caught a break when Charleston center fielder Larry Cobb dropped a fly ball in deep right center. Brett Lilley advanced to second on the play.

The Irish, though, were unable to bring him in. Charleston called on top reliever, Josh McLaughlin, and he quickly ended the inning, getting the next two batters to ground out. Kyle Weiland, who was brought in to replace Samardzija, pitched a perfect bottom of the ninth for the Irish.
