Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 | Box Score 3 RICHARDSON, TX (04.25.14) - The UT Dallas baseball team dropped its second straight American Southwest Conference series, falling in two of three games to Mississippi College; but came out of the weekend with a post-season berth in the ASC Championship Tournament secured after a walkoff win Friday afternoon.

The Comets (22-14, 17-12) secured no worse than a fifth place finish in the ASC regular season race - which concludes next weekend - by rallying for a 6-5 extra-inning win Friday afternoon. UTD, which still has a shot at a higher seed, didn't help its cause on Saturday, dropping both ends of a doubleheader to the Choctaws (18-18, 17-13 ASC), 6-3 and 4-0.

UTD finishes out its regular season next Friday and Saturday with a three-game home series against Hardin-Simmons, which is still battling for one of the eight tournament berths. The ASC Championship Tournament begins Tuesday, May 6, at Concordia University in Austin.

Missississippi College is in transition to NCAA Division II membership and is ineligible for ASC post-season play in 2014.

A two-out, bases-loaded throwing error by Mississippi College third baseman Tate Ratcliff allowed

to reach safely with two outs in the 11th inning - was the crowning blow to the Choctaws, who gave up a late 5-2 lead to UTD in the final two frames of the nine-inning opener. The win clinched a post-season berth for the Comets, who can finish no worse than the eighth seed in the conference, and still have a shot at winning the league's regular season title.

The Comets were down to their final out in the 11th inning when Smith, who had struggled throug a 0-for-5 afternoon, stepped on the bag a split second before Evans came back down on the bag. George had reached on a fielder's choice with two outs, but was safe at second on

(6-3), who escaped danger three times with Comet double plays, but also saw four unearned runs score by way of three UTD errors.MC scored the game's first run with a pair of hits and the first Comet error in the second. The Choctaws then took a 2-0 advantage with a three-hit fifth inning. In the sixth, things fell apart for the Comets as a walk, two singles and another error made it 4-0. Then, with two outs, another UTD error cost the Comets two more runs.

UTD rallied for its first run in the bottom of the sixth. Marti singled with two outs, advanced on two more base hits from George and Clounch before scoring on a wild pitch.

In the seventh, the inning opened with a Smith single, Olszewski walk and

, who surrendered just two runs and struck out four over the first eight innings of the game to give his team a chance. Aaron Bach was nicked for two more runs in the ninth, but by then the Comet offense had been shut down.

The game shaped up to be a scoreless pitching duel for the first five innings before MC finally got on the board in the sixth. After UTD had missed out on a chance with two runners on and only one out in the fifth, a pair of Choctaw RBI doubles in the sixth pushed across the first two runs of the game and MC led, 2-0. UTD had another nice chance in the seventh, getting consecutive singles from Smith and Olszewski, but a hard-hit line drive off the bat of Fly found the mitt of MC first baseman Marty Stringfellow, who doubled off Olszewski at first to end the inning.
