GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Kep Brown had a walkoff RBI single through the right side in the 13th inning to help UNC Wilmington beat Ohio State 4-3 in Saturday’s elimination game at the NCAA Tournament’s Greenville Regional.

Brown’s hit scored Noah Bridges for the fourth-seeded Seahawks (38-22), who needed a run-scoring single from Mason Berne in the bottom of the 11th before there was a lightning delay of more than 90 minutes.

Brown finished with four hits for the Seahawks, while Blake Morgan (2-1) earned the win with an inning of relief work. UNC Wilmington finished with 19 hits.

Jacob Barnwell hit a home run for the third-seeded Buckeyes (36-24), who led 3-2 on Noah West’s RBI single in the top of the 11th inning.

Ohio State had just five hits for the game.
