ROLLA, Mo. - Missouri S&T's Doug Wood belted a home run to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Miners a 10-9 win and series victory over the Truman Baseball team on Sunday afternoon. The Bulldogs return home to host Missouri-St. Louis starting on Thursday for a four-game series.

After falling behind 1-0 after one, the Bulldogs exploded for six runs in the top of the third inning. Grant Beck and Simon Murray started the frame with singles to right field and Tal Dean brought in Beck with a double to left to tie the game. Holden Missey torched a two-RBI single to left that scored Murray and Dean, then in a double-steal with Luke Turner, swiped second while Turner came home to make it 4-1. Dylan Thompson drove in Missey and later Beck knocked his second hit of the inning to score Thompson for the 6-1 lead.

Back-to-back hit by pitches in the fourth gave the Miners back one run and then a double to left trimmed the lead to 6-4 and chased starter Cole Eggerding.

Jordan Marlott was greeted with a two-run double to tie the contest at six each.

The Miners would go back in front with two runs in the fifth.

The Bulldogs got a run back in the sixth after Dean doubled for the second time in the game and came around to score on Turner's RBI singe to center.

S&T got the run right back aided by a walk, hit batsman and a fielding error.

Truman took aid of some walks issued in their seventh and made the Miners pay. Tyler Tieman drew a one-out walk, swiped second before being erased on a fielders choice. Beck singled in PJ Jerszynski and two straight walks, separated by a pitching change allowed the Bulldogs to draw even at nine each.

It stayed that way until the bottom of the ninth when the first batter Michael Daggett faced, Doug Wood, drove the ball out of the park to allow the Miners to take three of four from the Bulldogs.

Beck was 4-for-5 with two RBI, while Dean and Missey each collected a pair of hits.
