The Mount Mercy baseball team came through in the clutch Wednesday to  sweep a non-conference doubleheader from Viterbo, 8-7 and 4-3, at the  Plaster Athletic Complex.

The Mustangs won both of the games in their final at-bat for a pair of  walk-off victories.

The opener was tied 7-7 going into the bottom of the eighth in extra  innings. Viterbo pitcher Austin Stibbe hit three batters in the frame  and plunked Oreskovich with the bases loaded to force in the winning  run.

Viterbo took a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning of the  nightcap, Nick Sueppel made it 3-2 when he was hit by a pitch with the  bases loaded, then Berdecia delivered a two-run single to win the game.
