COLUMBIA, KY - Iowa Wesleyan College's Nelcicio York's game-winning single in the top of the 10th inning propelled the Tigers to a 2-1 win over the host Lindsey Wilson College baseball team today, Sunday, February 28, 2010, at Lindsey Wilson Park.



With the win, Iowa Wesleyan (3-2) takes two out of three from the Blue Raiders (2-4) over the weekend.

Sophomore Drew Barrett opened the bottom half of the fourth inning reaching base when Iowa Wesleyan starter Brian Graves hit him. Following a sacrifice bunt by Rhodes to move Barrett into scoring position, Murphy singled to left center to tie the game.

Graves finished the game allowing just the one run on seven hits in nine innings of work to pick up the win. He struck out three Blue Raiders while not conceding a walk on the afternoon.

Iowa Wesleyan's Josh Sturges opened the 10th inning with a double and later scored on York's single to give the visitors the win.
