Box Score In the final game of the 2015 season, the Maryville baseball team went extra innings and dropped a 4-3 heartbreaker on a wild pitch at Truman State Sunday afternoon in Kirksville, Mo.
 
The Bulldogs scored two runs in the bottom of the first on an RBI single and a sac bunt to grab an early 2-0 lead. Saints starter Steven Reynolds settled down and did not give up another run over the next three innings. However, the Saints offense was unable to muster a run. Truman tacked on another run in the bottom of the sixth. Maryville finally broke through and tied the game with three runs in the top of the seventh.
 
Troy Payton started the rally with a double and took third on Andrew Naegeli's single. Danny Barnett put a ball in play for an RBI ground out but the Bulldogs misplayed the ball for a run. Both Saints runners moved up a base on a balk, and Sean Murphy came on as a pinch runner. The move was shrewd when Kaleb Depew singled back up the middle to bring in both runners to forge a 3-3 tie.
 
The Saints nearly took the lead in the eighth inning but stranded two runners. The game moved into the bottom of the tenth, and Truman worked a walk. After a sac bunt and an infield hit, the Saints intentionally loaded the bases to set up a force out at every base. However, Maryville uncorked a wild pitch to allow Michael Venturella to score the game-winning run for Truman State.
 
The Saints close out the 2015 season with an overall record of 19-31, 11-25 in the GLVC. Truman State is now 30-18 overall, 21-15 in the league.
