For the second time in as many games, the West Chester University baseball squad used a two-out walk off to extend its winning streak as the seventh-ranked Golden Rams (15-3) defeated Molloy by a 4-3 score Tuesday on South Campus.
Jake Welsch (a Downingtown West alum) laced a two-out double into the left-center field gap to plate Casey Vaughan, who had singled earlier in the inning.
After 3 1/2 scoreless innings to open the game, West Chester took the lead in the fourth with an RBI groundout from Ben Bolhouse (a Kennett High School alum) before doubling its lead with an RBI double off the bat of Anthony Boccio (a Coatesville High alum) in the fifth to take a 2-0 lead.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, Vaughan ripped an RBI single through the right side to score Bolhouse and give West Chester a 3-1 lead.
Molloy tied the score in the top of the ninth inning, then in the bottom of the ninth, Vaughan lined a single into left center and Darius Troche was hit by a pitch to give West Chester runners on first and second. With two outs, Welsch lined a fly ball into left center field, which arced just over the outstretched glove of the Lions left fielder and give the Golden Rams their second walk-off victory in as many games.
