Drew Markle delivered a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning as Louisiana won its seventh straight game with a 3-2 win over Big 12 opponent Kansas State, sweeping a two-game midweek series on Wednesday at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field at Russo Park.
Markle's second homer of the season came off K-State reliever Cohen Feser (1-1), breaking a 2-2 tie and sending Louisiana (7-2) to its second extra-inning win of the season and third walk-off victory in the past five games.
The Wildcats (6-3) forced the extra frame when Grant Gallagher opened the ninth with a solo home run to center field off Parker Smith, knotting the score at 2-2.
Louisiana struck first in the opening inning. Lee Amedee doubled to center, moved to third on Markle's single and scored on Rigoberto Hernandez's sacrifice fly for a 1-0 lead.
