NEW ORLEANS, La. – The New Orleans Privateers baseball team (8-12, 2-4 Southland) scored two runs in the tenth inning to extend the game, but wound up falling 6-5 in 11 to the Southern Miss Golden Eagles (12-7-1, 2-1 C-USA) on Tuesday night at Maestri Field at First NBC Ballpark.
 
The Privateers came back from a 5-3 deficit to tie the game in the bottom of the 10th. The tying run came across on a passed ball and New Orleans had the winning run 90 feet away on a subsequent error. However, Ryan Milton induced a ground out to short to push the game to the 11th inning.
 
In the game-deciding inning, the Golden Eagles got the first two runners aboard on a single and a double. With one out and the bases loaded after an intentional walk, Breck Kline hit a fly ball deep to right for a sacrifice fly that brought across the go-ahead run.
 
The bottom half of the frame saw a lead-off single by Matt Rykaczewski, but he was later erased on the base paths. The next two batters were retired on ground outs to short by Connor O'Brien who picked up the save.
 
"I'm really proud of my guys, but we didn't handle a couple of bunt situations the right way and we practice that same double steal that they executed and we didn't handle it well. We made young mistakes but we're getting better," said Coach Ron Maestri.
 
New Orleans carried a 3-2 lead into the eighth inning, but back-to-back walks drawn by the Golden Eagles set up what would be a game-tying RBI sac fly off the bat of Nick Dawson. On the night, both of Dawson's RBIs came on sacrifice flies.
 
The Privateers have been involved in three extra-inning games and have come up on the short end of all three. The Privateers bullpen pitched 7.2 innings and allowed just four hits, but also issued six free passes. Offensively, Ryan Calloway, Preston Marsh, and Jonathan Coco each had two hits. Calloway scored twice and Coco drove in a pair of runs including the first of the night back in the first inning.
 
For Southern Miss, Taylor Braley led the way in the hit column, going 3-for-6.  Austin Roussel provided two hits and scored twice. The Golden Eagles had four stolen bases and executed a double steal in the fourth inning.
 
The Privateers jump back into conference play on Friday against Lamar. First pitch is set for 6:30 p.m.
