GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) – The Pirates are still alive in the NCAA regional baseball tournament.

A wild 9th inning saw the Pirates fall behind 6-4 to the Demon Deacons but they were able to battle back in the bottom off the inning to win 7-6. Luke Nowak delivered the walk-off single. Dixon Williams had a huge 3-run home run to give the Pirates the 4-1 lead. He also drove in the game-tying run before Nowak walked it off.

“I just hope that moment was as cool for y’all as it was for me cause y’all helped me get here,” says Dixon Williams, “Just looking around at all the fans and knowing I was sitting there one day it was unreal.”

Trey Yesavage also was brilliant in the game going 7 and a third innings and taking the no decision.
