MEMPHIS, Tenn. - 3/30/2009 - The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ University Bulldogs scored six runs in the top of the 10th inning to defeat NCAA DII Christian Brothers (Tenn.) University 16-10. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ led 10-5 going into the bottom of the ninth inning, but allowed the home Bucs to score five runs to tie the game.

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's David Maristany continued his hot hitting from last week as he posted a 3-for-5 day with three RBI.

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ trailed 2-1 going into the top of the sixth inning. In the top half of the sixth, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ scored three runs to take the lead.

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ score one in the seventh, two in the eighth, and three more in the ninth as the Bulldogs seemed to be cruising for their 19th win of the season. However, Christian Brothers tied the game with five runs in the bottom of the ninth. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's offense answered with six runs in the top of the 10th inning.
