to the left field warning track where Joey Butler made a play to give UNO the thrilling win.

UNO and Troy were unable to complete their Sun Belt conference tournament contest on May 21 and continued to the next morning. Ryan O'Shea
faced the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning in a tied
ballgame against a Trojan team fighting for its season. O'Shea would
get out of the jam giving the Privateers a chance in extra innings.
Vander Hey, the senior catcher, capitalized on the opportunity, hitting
a solo home run as UNO advanced with a 7-6 win over Troy.
