The Muhlenberg baseball team walked off Ursinus for the fifth year in a row, winning 2-1 in 10 innings in their final home game of the season.
The Mules won 8-7 in 10 innings in 2021, 4-3 in 13 innings in 2022, 3-2 in 10 innings in 2023, and 8-7 in 10 innings last year. In the last 10 years, half of their 10 Centennial Conference walkoff wins have come against the Bears.
Senior
Aidan Legner delivered the winning blow in the latest after Muhlenberg's eighth and ninth hitters, junior
Mason Mehling and freshman
Sean Habeeb, singled with one out in the 10th. After a force play, Legner
(pictured above) drove an 0-1 pitch over the head of the center fielder to bring home Mehling with the winning run.
Legner's hit ended a crisply played game that took just over two hours to play. Senior
Ethan Brochin and freshman
Kieran Mulholland combined to allow only seven hits, with Brochin tossing four scoreless innings in his first start of the season. Mulholland threw the final six, striking out a career-high six, to earn the win.
Ursinus (18-18, 4-11) broke a scoreless deadlock with a run in the top of the sixth. The Mules (17-18, 6-9) drew even in the eighth when freshman
Chris Moglia hit a leadoff single and came home on a two-out RBI hit by graduate student
Jack Kent.
Mulholland recorded four of his six strikeouts in the ninth and 10th innings.
