Muhlenberg scored once in the ninth and once in the 10th to come from behind and defeat Ursinus, 8-7, at Coca-Cola Park. And a thrilling game it was, with the Bears (2-5) hitting two home runs to overcome a 6-0 deficit, only to have the Mules (4-3) rally in their final two at-bats. Coming four days after a 6-5 win in 11 innings at Dickinson, it gave Muhlenberg back-to-back extra-inning games for the first time since 1991, when both ends of a twinbill with Moravian went eight innings. The last time the Mules played consecutive games of more than nine innings? That was 1958, when they defeated La Salle and St. Joseph's in a pair of 10-inning contests.
