Mountford's Heroics Lift Bulldogs
Jordan Mountford's two run walk off home run capped a huge Bryant University comeback this past week in NCAA D1 NE Conference action.
After winning game one of their double header over Sienna College, the Bulldogs rallied from an 8-0 deficit in game two for an 11-9 win.
Trailing 9-8, heading into the seventh inning, the Bulldogs scratched to tie the game up, setting the stage for Terrier alumni Jordan Mountford's heroics.
The big lefty stepped in and demolished a 1-1 offering from Sienna closer Neil Fryer over the right-center field wall for the walk off victory.
Jordan is having an outstanding sophomore year. He has 25 hits, 22 runs scored and his SLG% is .402
