One day after getting a walk-off win at home, Vandalia fell on the road as Southwestern got the walk-off win over the Vandals 6-4 on Friday. Vandalia would get on the scoreboard first in the game as Aiden Politte would reach base on an error in the top of the second to score Carson Lotz from second for a 1-0 lead. The Vandals then gave up two runs in both the third and fourth inning to trail the Birds 4-1. After a scoreless fifth and sixth inning, Vandalia tied the game up at 4-4 on a 3-run home run by Reid Well that scored Ross Miller and Andrew Kelly. In the bottom of the seventh, Southwestern got a leadoff double to start the inning but that runner would be picked off at first base for the first out. However, the Birds got another double to put a runner in scoring position before Colin Elmar hit a two-run home run to lift the Birds over Vandalia, 6-4. The Vandals drop to 6-8 on the season.
