A bunt single in the ninth inning pushed the VCU Rams past the No. 14 Liberty Flames 2-1, Tuesday at the Diamond.
On an afternoon where pitching held the upper hand, the host Rams plated the winning run without getting a hit out of the infield in the ninth inning. After the first two batters of the inning reached on an infield single and a throwing error to put runners on the corners, left fielder Cooper Benzin’s bunt scored the winning run for the walk-off victory.
Four Liberty pitchers held VCU to five hits in the contest, while five Rams limited the Flames to three hits in the game.
Liberty drops to 12-3 on the year. VCU improves to 7-8. The Rams have won four straight games.
