Birmingham-Southern College played the Warhawks of Wisconsin-Whitewater to the final inning, but came out on the losing end in a key game of the Division III College World Series in Eastlake, Ohio.

The game was tied at 10 going into the bottom of the 9th inning when No. 3 seed Wisconsin-Whitewater hit a walk-off home run, ending the game 11-10.
