NEW ORLEANS, La. – Brashard Jones' walkoff single in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted Prairie View A&M to a come-from-behind, 11-10 win over Alcorn State on Saturday at the Major League Baseball Urban Youth Invitational.
 
Jones capped an exciting inning of an exciting game with his first hit of the game. David Drake and Kevin Macias both walked before Cody Den Beste reached on a sacrifice bunt. The throw to retire Den Beste was wild, loading the bases for the Panthers with no outs before Jones came through with his heroics.
 
Edward Robledo pitched two and two-thirds innings of shutout relief for the Panthers to pick up the win. Robledo allowed only two hits and two walks (one intentional) while striking out a batter.
 
PVAMU's Edgar Sanchez struck out six batters while scattering nine hits over six innings in his debut as a starting pitcher. After a rocky start, Sanchez allowed only one batter past first base during the middle three innings.
 
Trailing 3-1, the Panthers rallied for five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, a frame that was capped by Carson Lee's (pictured) three-run home run.
 
Alcorn retook the lead with a seven-run seventh inning, but could not hold the advantage as the Panthers responded in the bottom half of the inning. The Panthers cut the lead to 10-9 when another Den Beste sacrifice bunt resulted in a wild throw, allowing Drake to score. Kevin Macias scored the tying run on Angel Avalos' RBI single.
 
Shannon Washington knocked in two runs for the Panthers.

PVAMU opened the event with a 7-0 loss to Louisiana Tech on Friday.
 
The Panthers return to action Sunday when they face Grambling State at New Orleans' Wesley Barrow Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for noon.
