TALLAHASSEE, FL --The Florida A&M Rattlers earned a win in exciting fashion, responding after Bethune-Cookman jumped in front in the ninth to force extra innings and pull off a 5-4 win, walking it off on a single off the bat of freshman Ben Kim to claim victory over the Wildcats in 10 innings Sunday.

Junior Grant Harrison (2-2) picked up the victory out of the bullpen for Florida A&M (23-25, ). The right-hander went two innings, giving up three runs, all of them earned, on four hits, allowing two walks and striking out two. Junior Raylan Wagner also made an impact on the mound for the Rattlers, starting the ballgame and throwing eight innings, giving up one run on five hits, with no walks and four strikeouts.

Senior Jared Weber led the way offensively for the Rattlers, going 1-for-3 in the ballgame with a triple, two walks and two RBI. Junior Sebastian Greico put together a standout day at the dish as well, going 2-for-4 with a double and a walk. Kim also contributed, going 1-for-3 for Florida A&M with two walks and an RBI.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Rattlers got on the scoreboard first, starting in the second inning. Weber's triple off of junior Santiago Gomez plated two for Florida A&M.

The Wildcats then gained ground, narrowing the lead to 2-1 until the Rattlers expanded their advantage in the sixth. Greico came across to score the lone run of the inning for Florida A&M, which brought the Rattlers lead to 3-1.

Florida A&M's lead had evaporated once the ninth inning came around and turned into a 4-3 Bethune-Cookman advantage, when the Rattlers tied up the game at four. The Rattlers scored once on an RBI single off the bat of freshman Joseph Pierini.

The game remained tied until the bottom of the tenth, when Florida A&M walked it off on an RBI single off the bat of Kim.
