Without hesitation, Willie Walls Jr., 21, agreed and jumped into the agent...
...Crimson added two runs in the ninth to send the sidearm slinging Smith to the showers. Singleton scored for the Crimson while the Engineers booted the ball around the infield, and Santos-Buch sped home from third amidst a botched rundown play...
