UPLAND, Ind. -- Trevor Goodwin's three-run walk-off home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth capped a 12-run, two-out rally in the bottom of the ninth inning, sending IU Southeast (Ind.) past Indiana Tech 14-11 in game one of the Upland Bracket in the NAIA Baseball National Championship Opening Round.

The Grenadiers (33-18) fell behind 10-0 heading to the bottom of the seventh inning. But IU Southeast began to chip away at the deficit. Ethan Burdette was hit by a pitch, and Slater Schield drew a walk, followed by an RBI single by Colin Long to get IU Southeast on the board.

The Warriors (32-23) got the run right back in the top of the eighth inning when Nathan Mack scored on a fielder's choice.

In the bottom of the eighth, the Grenadier offense began to find its rhythm as Kody Putnam, Trevor Goodwin, and Max Flock recorded three straight singles, with Flock's scoring Putnam.

In the top of the ninth, Gavin Knust retired the side to set the stage for the rally.

The first two batters went down in order, but an error at shortstop followed by a single by Putnam gave the Grenadiers life.

An RBI single by Goodwin, followed by a two-run double by Max Flock, cut the deficit to 11-5.

An error allowed Flock to score before Schield singled to drive in Alex Yurt.

A bases-loaded walk to Mason White cut the lead to 11-8, and a two-run single to right by Luke Powell, followed by a double by Kody Putnam down the right-field line, tied the game.

Trevor Goodwin then stepped to the dish and took a 2-2 pitch to straightaway center field for a walk-off three-run home run, his fifth homer of the season.

IU Southeast scored all 12 runs with two outs, had seven hits, and two errors prolonged the game.

Two of Goodwin's three hits came in the ninth inning. He finished 3-for-6 with two runs scored and four RBI. Max Flock was 3-for-4 with a run scored and three RBI.

Kody Putnam was 3-for-6 with three runs scored and an RBI. Colin Long and Mason White each had two hits, scored once, and knocked in a run.

Ten of the Grenadiers' 15 hits came in the final two innings of the contest.

IU Southeast will now face top-seeded Missouri Baptist tonight at 6 p.m. ET.
