MILLIGAN COLLEGE, Tenn. (March 15, 2015) â€" With five extra innings and nearly an hour of scoreless baseball tacked onto the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader, it might be easy to forget all the great things the Milligan College baseball team did to come away with two wins (2-0 and 5-4) over Truett-McConnell College at Anglin Field.
 
While it was Shane Salley who scored Edwin Soto's winning run with a two-out walk-off in the bottom of the 12th inning of game two, a near endless list of Buffaloes (8-4, 3-3 Appalachian Athletic Conference) were responsible for the doubleheader sweep.
 
First, there was Codie Campbell who fired his second complete game this week in a four-hit masterpiece in game one. Campbell struck out a career high eight while walking only two as the Buffs took the opener by a score of 2-0. He ended five of his seven frames with a strikeout, including fanning the tying run for the last out of the game.
 
Campbell was given the run support on a Sam Tarlton infield single and a Nick Loughry two-out, bases loaded walk in a second-inning rally. Two runs proved to be twice as much as the junior right-hander needed, although Campbell was forced to pitch through some threats. After striking out the side in the fourth and facing the minimum in the fifth, Campbell saw the first two reach in the sixth and a leadoff double start the seventh. Truett-McConnell put the tying run in scoring position with one out in the former but found no further answer to Campbell, who improved to 2-0 and is yet to give up a run this season.
 
After Campbell, it was the back-to-back-to-back trio of Chavez Golden, Josh Peterson and Tarlton who kept the Buffaloes alive late in game two. With two out, the bases clear, and facing a 4-3 deficit, Golden faced a 1-2 pitch, a couple of 2-2 pitches and a 3-2 pitch before singling to center. Peterson followed by fighting off a 2-2 count with a single to left field to put runners on first and second. Finally, Tarlton faced a 1-2 count twice before slapping a game-tying base hit to center field.
 
In all, the three combined to face their last strike seven times before Tarlton punched across the tying run.
 
Right-handed pitcher Wyatt Richardson pulled the Buffaloes through the later extra innings with four straight scoreless innings. Richardson's first three frames were perfect and finally allowed his first base runner on a bunt hit from TMC shortstop Trent Little with two out in the 12th. Little was left stranded at first on Richardson's next pitch.
 
Milligan's previous rally which tied the game at 3-3 in the sixth started with a Tyler Weir walk and Soto bunt base hit. After a wild pitch moved the pair over to second and third, Golden tied the game with a one-out sacrifice fly to left.
 
Three more times through the order, Soto got the scoring going one final time as he reached second base on an error, took third on a Brandon Malone flyout, then scored the winning run on an error by Little at short, off the bat of Salley.
 
Milligan posted 15 hits in the nightcap, led by Soto's three-hit effort. Loughry, Weir, Golden and Tarlton all had two hits. Malone finished with a two-hit game in the opener.
 
Milligan and Truett-McConnell will finish the series Monday at 2 p.m. before turning right back around to host two games on Tuesday and two games on Wednesday. Tuesday, the Buffaloes will face University of the Cumberlands. Wednesday, they will tangle with Tennessee Temple. All five games will take place at Anglin Field.
