Towson Baseball Victim of UMass Ninth Inning Rally

TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University baseball team fell to UMass in the series finale on a visitor ninth inning rally as the Minutemen got a 5-4 win.
 
Towson (8-16) was ahead 4-2 going into the ninth after a two-run single by Danny Becerra put the Tigers ahead in the ninth vs. UMass (8-7-1).  The Minutemen scored three in the ninth and held for the victory.
