Jordan Cotter delivered a two-run walk-off hit with two strikes to win the game for the Athletics (14-2 overall, 13-2 SEC).
Daniel Bollingberg pitched all 10 innings to pick up the win for LP as he struck out nine.
“Daniel pitched maybe his best game in the five years I have been coaching, he wanted it bad,” LP head coach Brock Meyer said. “His defense did a great job behind him. Whenever Daniel is pitching and we have no errors we have a good chance to win a game. Hopefully, it’s a good confidence builder for the playoffs and we can keep this momentum going.”
LP pitching: Daniel Bollingberg (W) 10 IP, 12 H, 2 ER, 9 K
LP hitting: Bollingberg, 3-for-4, R, SB; Bryce Strouf, 0-for-5, R; Jordan Cotter, 1-for-5, 2 RBIs; Taylor Arett, 1-for-3; Jed Nelson, 1-for-4
