DENMARK, S.C. – Herb Collins' two-run single in the top of the eighth inning lifted Oakwood University to a thrilling come-from-behind 10-9 victory over Voorhees College Thursday afternoon and helped the Ambassadors split their HBCU Athletic Conference doubleheader.

Oakwood trailed 7-0 after the first inning, but battled back and stayed within striking distance to pick up its first conference win of the season.
 
The Ambassadors scored eight runs over the next five innings to tie the game at 8-8 through six innings.
 
After Collins' huge hit gave Oakwood the lead, Carson Nelms limited Voorhees to one run in the bottom of the eighth inning and then blanked the Tigers in the bottom of the ninth to give the Ambassadors their first HBCUAC win of the season.
