In a high-stakes matchup to open the NAIA National Championship Opening Round, the (rv) Seahawks delivered a dramatic 10-9 walk-off win over No. 14 Houston-Victoria on Monday night. Down by one in the bottom of the ninth, the Seahawks plated two runs to defeat the Jaguars and improve to 36-15 on the year.

Dylan Symonds was the hero at the plate, driving in four runs—including the game-tying and game-winning RBI in the final frame. Simon Grinberg added a key spark in the middle of the lineup, going 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and three runs scored. Landon Lowe went 2-for-4 with three runs scored and a double, helping pace a Keiser offense that tallied nine hits on the night.

On the mound, Tanner Goswick earned the win, tossing 1.2 innings of relief with three strikeouts and no walks. Garrett Brogdon contributed a solid 4.0 innings out of the bullpen, striking out six while limiting UHV to two earned runs.

Despite trailing in five different innings, the Seahawks tied the game twice before sealing the win in the ninth on back-to-back RBI singles from Andrew Almendarez and Symonds. The Seahawks now advance in the Lawrenceville bracket and will return to action on Tuesday at 8:00 PM to face the winner of No. 2 Georgia Gwinnett and Talledaga.
