Astronauts Win in 13
Fans who congregated at USC Grounds were treated to extra-inning drama.

The Purdue Astronauts outlasted the USC Travelers, 8-7, in 13 innings. Salvador Bruno provided some punch at the plate for Purdue. He was 4-6 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times. Joe McLaughlin recorded the save, his 1st.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Justin Smith came to bat in the top of the 13th. Facing USC pitcher Edgardo Sosa, he hit a 1-2 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Purdue on top, 8-7.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Smith, "but we got it done."

The Astronauts, now 14-17, have won 4 in a row.
