College baseball team pulls off absurd comeback victory with 12 runs in final inning with 2 outs
A college baseball game featured an absurdly dramatic ninth-inning comeback on Monday.
In the opening round of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) championship tournament, Indiana Southeast trailed 11-2 going into the final frame. With a lead that big, it’s more than likely any team would’ve been OK surrendering a few runs before eventually closing the door.
It’s also likely that the trailing team would have focused its attention on the next game in hopes of avoiding being eliminated.

But the Grenadiers dug deep and put together an improbable comeback.
Indiana Southeast scored one run each in the seventh and eighth innings and were immediately put on their heels after the first two batters recorded outs. All the Warriors had to do was get one more batter out and they would be in a good position to possibly get to the next round.
Base knocks and fielding errors helped Indiana Southeast get back into the game and before Indiana Tech knew it, they were tied 11-11.

With two runners on, Trevor Goodwin stepped up to the plate and hit a three-run home run to give the Grenadiers the unreal victory.
It’s not the first time Indiana Southeast put together an incredible comeback in the opening round. The school noted that they came back from a six-run deficit to beat Warner in 2021.
The Grenadiers played Missouri Baptist later in the day after defeating Indiana Tech and won that game as well, 4-0. Missouri Baptist was the top seed.

Phoenix Merchant Partners and Texas Capital Alternative Asset Management Form Strategic Relationship
Phoenix Merchant Partners, an independent alternative asset manager, and Texas Capital Alternative Asset Management (TCAAM), a wholly owned subsidiary of Texas Capital Bancshares, formed a strategic relationship to provide customized capital solutions and direct lending to the core middle market across a diverse range of industries.
The relationship integrates the corporate and investment banking coverage network of Texas Capital with the structuring, underwriting and multi-cycle portfolio management expertise of Phoenix. Capitalizing on this powerful combination, Phoenix will launch its first vehicle, Spurstone Credit, in Q3/26. Structured as a perpetual-life, non-traded closed-end credit fund, Spurstone will be headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
Spurstone has already attracted interest from a group of anchor institutional investors. The vehicle’s investment mandate will focus primarily on delivering senior secured financing solutions to core middle-market businesses with annual revenues between $100 million and $1 billion that are currently underserved in private credit.
“As the only full-service financial services firm headquartered in Texas, we continuously look for ways to serve the needs of companies and their owners, both in Texas and in our industries of focus across the country. Working with Phoenix expands and accelerates our ability to offer proprietary private credit financing solutions to deserving clients. The Phoenix team shares our disciplined approach to asset structuring, capital preservation and portfolio management, as well as our passion for providing exceptional client service and delivering comprehensive solutions,” Daniel Hoverman, head of corporate and investment banking at Texas Capital and president of TCAAM, said.
The vehicle’s strategy is designed to address a critical structural liquidity gap for non-sponsored, family-owned and founder-led mid-market enterprises requiring flexible, non-dilutive senior capital to fund organic growth, strategic acquisitions and balance sheet optimizations.
“Proprietary origination remains the single biggest differentiator in the private credit landscape,” Art Mbanefo, founder and CEO of Phoenix, said. “Working with TCAAM unlocks unparalleled access to high-quality, founder-owned businesses across Texas and other economic centers like California, New York and Illinois. Together, we are bridging the liquidity gap for exceptional middle-market companies.”
Spurstone will be advised by a newly formed, Phoenix-sponsored registered investment adviser, Ryestone Advisors, which is currently applying for registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. TCAAM will be a minority economic investor in Spurstone’s investment adviser.
DAMASCUS, Va. (WCYB) — According to leaders with the U.S. Forest Service, the Virginia Creeper Trail is set to reopen at the beginning of March.
They say, the trail could reopen this fall but after speaking with local business owners, a timeline of March would bring in more business. It would also give contractors more time to test the construction to ensure its stability.
On Tuesday, Senator Mark Warner toured the construction with other elected officials, members of the U.S Forest Service and leaders of the Kiewit Corporation.
Shortly after Helene damaged all 18-miles of the upper section of the trail, Warner worked to secure $500 million of federal dollars for the U.S. Forest Service. $240 million of which went into the Creeper rebuild, granting the Kiewit Corporation the contract last year.
CHARLESTON, W.Va (WCHS) — As the conversation around two large transmission lines being built through parts West Virginia continues, the biggest question remaining is, will ratepayers be impacted?
The Valley North project is on the table and it would span from Putnam County to Frederick County, Maryland, totaling to 260 miles. Two new substations would also be built, one in Hardy County and the other in Frederick County Maryland.
According to the project website, these lines would strengthen the grid to deliver more reliable and affordable electricity to homes, hospitals, schools and businesses.
Energy Efficent West Virginia policy director, Emmett Pepper said, building these lines will not strengthen the power that we get at home.
“We have some of the least reliable electricity in the country here in West Virginia. That’s not because of the large transmission lines that we see their tower above us. It’s because of the local distribution lines, the ones that come close to our homes. While there can be some small amount of benefit potentially from the big transmission lines going in, it is the local lines that are the problem and that is not being addressed by this,” he said.
Lawmakers we spoke with earlier this month said between both transmission line projects, West Virginia could have to front the bill for anywhere between $440 million to $900 million.
“This is going to be more cost for rate payers and will not fix our problems here. There are other places in the region that have issues with transmission, but that’s not our issue,” Pepper said.
He said he’d like to see state leaders take action to ensure these costs don’t fall back on ratepayers.
“I think we need to have a rate payers’ bill of rights that would actually protect people and have a plan for how we’re going to deal with this so that it has less of an impact on rate payers,” he said.
