ROCK HILL, S.C. – Winthrop plated a run in the bottom of the ninth to tie, and struck for the game-winner in the bottom of the tenth to beat Gardner-Webb, 7-6, Friday night in another tight contest for the Runnin' Bulldogs
Gardner-Webb (22-23, 9-10 Big South) dropped its third straight one-run league game, with the last two going into extra innings.
Gardner-Webb jumped out to an early 1-0 lead over Winthrop (24-18, 11-5 Big South) in the top of the second inning. Gage Parham would double to left field and would advance to third on a fielder's choice by Mason Fox.
Parham would then score on a RBI groundout by Matt Simmons to give the Runnin' Bulldogs the initial lead.
The Runnin' Bulldogs would increase their lead to 2-0 in the top of the third. Back-to-back base hits by Collin Thacker and Danny Sullivan would put runners on first and second for Chandler Redmond, who would single to deep center field to plate Thacker.
Winthrop would claim the lead in the bottom of the fourth inning. A RBI single by Hunter Lipscomb would be followed later in the inning by a three-run home run by Brandon Fite to give the Eagles a 4-2 advantage.
Gardner-Webb would retake the lead in the top of the seventh inning. Justin Kunz would reach on a base hit to left field, which would set up a two-run home run to left field by Sullivan to tie the game.
It was the 16th home run of the season for Sullivan, which tied the Gardner-Webb record for most home runs in a single season, set in 2000 by Sammy Pruett.
Redmond would follow with a solo shot to right field, his 13th home run of the season which gave the Diamond 'Dogs a 5-4 lead.
Jacob Whitley would reach on a double to center field, and would score later in the frame when Mason Fox reached on a throwing error by Winthrop shortstop Mitch Spires, giving GWU a 6-4 advantage.
The Eagles would pull within one run in the bottom half of the inning on a RBI double by Matthew Mulkey.
Winthrop would tie the game in the bottom of the ninth on a RBI single to center field by Scout McFalls.
The Eagles would plate the winning run in the bottom of the tenth on a bases-loaded RBI single by T Halstead with one out.

The Runnin' Bulldogs tallied thirteen base hits, with Sullivan (3-for-5, HR, 2 RBI) leading that effort.
Zach Peek (3-1) earned the win for Winthrop, tossing the final 3.1 innings, allowing no runs on just one base hits with two strikeouts. Reece Green lasted 6.2 innings in the no decision, allowing six runs on twelve base hits with six strikeouts.
