RICHMOND, Ky. – Eastern Kentucky University lost to visiting Marshall, 13-11, in 13 innings on Tuesday at Earle Combs Stadium.
 
Trailing by one going into the bottom of the eighth, EKU's Logan Thomason was hit by a pitch to start a rally.  Miguel Larreal drew a walk.  Will King then ripped a double down the left field line just out of the reach of the leaping third baseman.  Thomason scored to tie the game at 9-9.  With one out, Jalen Jones lifted a fly ball into center field deep enough for Larreal to tag and score the go-ahead run.
 
The Thundering Herd tied it in the top of the ninth on a sacrifice fly from Daniel Carinci.  Marshall took the lead in the 10th on a bases loaded walk by Owen Ayers.
 
Charlie Ludwick's blast over the wall in right in the bottom of the 10th tied the game again.  Amari Bartee's two-run single up the middle in the top of the 13th proved to be the game winner for the Thundering Herd.
 
The Colonels (15-21) scored in each of the first three innings.  Thomason began the bottom of the first with a solo home run.  It was his fourth dinger in the last four games and the third time he started a game with a homer for the Colonels during that span.

Marshall took the lead with four runs in the sixth.  Kebler Peralta had an RBI triple to start it.  Eddie Leon drove in Peralta with a single down the right field line.  With runners at the corners and one out, the Thundering Herd executed a double steal to tie the game.  Gio Ferraro's double down the right field line brought home a run to complete the comeback.
