Highland Heights, Ky. – Brady Shannon went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double and four runs batted in, but the Youngstown State baseball team suffered a 7-6 setback in 10 innings to Northern Kentucky on Friday afternoon at the Bill Aker Baseball Complex.

The Penguins fall to 3-20 overall and 1-3 in Horizon League action while the Norse improve to 11-13 overall and 4-3 in league play.

Freshman Misael Uriepero went 3-for-5 with a double and a drove in a run in while Luke Rossi was 2-for-5.

YSU starter Braden Gebhardt allowed one run on three hits with 10 strikeouts over six innings in a no-decision. Tyler Heflin permitted two runs on two hits in one inning as the first of four YSU relievers to appear in the contest. Sloan Ulrich was responsible for three runs while Mikey Rodriques suffered the loss by surrendering the winning run in the 10th.

Shannon accounted for the Penguins first three runs with a two-run homer to center in the top of the first and a run-scoring single in the third to put the Penguins up 3-0.

The Norse plated a run in the bottom half of the third to trim the Penguins lead to 3-1, but doubles by Uriepero and Alex Jang in the top half of the fourth pushed the YSU lead out to 5-1.

Shannon's second home run of the game, a solo shot to left field, extended the Penguins' lead to 6-1 in the top of the fifth.

The Norse scored twice in the seventh and three times in the eighth to tie the game at 6-6, and Alex Brazer's walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th plated Mark Nowak with the game-winning run.
