BANGOR, Maine -David LeBlanc walks off to score Nolan Brown as Husson Baseball (8-8) defeats Saint Joseph's College of Maine (13-4) with a final score of 2-1, in the longest game in program history for both schools, making it to 15 innings. 

St. Joe's opened the scoring in the third inning as Greg Emanuelson tripled to right field, which scored Jared Gagne. Husson quickly got the final out of the inning to leave Emanuelson stranded on third as the Eagles looked to score their first run. 

Following five scoreless innings for both teams, Husson got in the board just in time to tie the tied the game, 1-1, in the bottom of the eighth inning. Nick Guerrette walked to begin the inning. LeBlanc reached on a fielder's choice as the Ethan Stoddard worked the count to load the bases. After a pitcher change for the Monks, LeBlanc scored on an RBI double to left field by Luke Covey. 

No runs were scored in the ninth inning, which forced the game into extras. Both teams failed to have a baserunner reach from the 12th to the top of the 15th inning. 

After several innings without seeing a single hit, Brown stepped up to the plate and hit a single to get the ball rolling in the bottom of the 15th inning. Kobe Rogerson then took one for the team, laying down a sacrifice bunt to push Brown to second base. Connor Maguire then lined a single to center as Brown scurried to third with just one out. To help better their advantage, the Monks walked the next batter before a LeBlanc single sent Brown racing to touch home plate before a double play was barely a second from being executed, as he scored the winning run, 2-1.
