JACKSONVILLE – Hannah Brown and Karsen Mosley rose to the occasion in a 10-inning, 6-3 win over Middle Tennessee on Tuesday at University Field.
 
Brown was called upon to make her second start of the season and went the distance in a dramatic win for the Gamecocks (12-16), who got a walk-off homer from Mosley in the 10^th after the Blue Raiders (15-16) walked Alexus Jimmerson to bring her up.
 
Brown (2-2) was stellar in the circle, limiting Middle Tennessee to three runs, only one earned, on seven hits in her 10 innings in the circle. The Pensacola, Fla., native threw 141 pitches, 88 for strikes, and struck out five in extending the Gamecocks' winning streak to seven games.
 
She pitched out of trouble a few times, stranding eight runners in the game, but the final two may have been the biggest. The Blue Raiders led off the top of the 10^th with back-to-back singles from Summer Burgess and Kelci Hill, bringing up the heart of the order with no outs. Brown got two ground ball outs and a strikeout to keep the game tied and set up Mosley's heroics.
 
A Shelby Newsome single with one out put the winning run on base and a Jada Terry ground out moved her into scoring position with two outs. Jimmerson stepped in after doubling earlier in the game, and the Blue Raiders intentionally walked her to get to Mosley, who was 0-for-4 to that point.
 
She got ahead 2-0 in the count and turned on Danielle Taitt's pitch, lifting it over the porch beyond the left field wall and giving the Gamecocks the win.
 
Taitt (1-3) suffered the loss after allowing three runs on two hits and a walk in 1 and 1/3 innings of relief. Kailey Ahlstrom started the game and went 5 and 2/3 innings, surrendering two runs on five hits. Gretchen Mead allowed an unearned run on three hits in 2 and 2/3 innings of work.
 
Terry was 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in the sixth that cut what was an early 3-0 deficit into a one-run game. Megan Fortner was 2-for3with a walk and scored the tying run in the bottom of the seventh on Lindsey Richardson's grounder.
 
That run forced extra innings, where both teams struggled to get a run across until Mosley's winning blast.
 
The Gamecocks will take their seven-game win streak on the road this weekend, when they will travel to Clarksville, Tenn., for a three-game series at Austin Peay. The series will start with a 1 p.m. CT doubleheader on Saturday before wrapping up with a 1 p.m. single game on Sunday.
