SANTA CLARA, Calif. – A wild, back-and-forth game went to extra innings before Malcolm Williams sent Santa Clara baseball home with a 11-10 walkoff win over Cal Poly Tuesday.
After the Mustangs (14-24) had scored a run in the top of the 10th, Efrain Manzo led off the bottom of the frame with a triple and came in on Coleman Brigman's sacrifice fly to tie the score. On the very next pitch, Williams blasted one out to left center that gave the Broncos (20-15) the win.
