Siena 9 Dallas Baptist 8 (10 innings)

Vincent Citro drove home the game-winning run with two outs in the bottom of the 10th setting off a celebration 45 years in the making. Siena rallied from an early 7-0 deficit to shock #28 Dallas Baptist and the rest of the College Baseball World with a wild 9-8 victory Saturday at Lupton Stadium in Fort Worth, the program’s first in NCAA Tournament play.

Siena advances to play another elimination game Sunday at 3:30 p.m. against the loser of tonight’s TCU/Sam Houston State game.

“It feels fantastic,” Siena coach Tony Rossi said. “I’m really happy for our school and our baseball alumni. They’ve been all over me with texts and e-mails the last few days. I’m really happy for everybody in the Siena community.”
