Box Score Seth Soto hit a three-run walk-off home run to power Rockhurst to a 7-6 victory over 18th-ranked Quincy in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship Tournament Saturday at Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana.

The win vaults the Hawks (30-22) into Sunday's championship game and will face either William Jewell or Indianapolis.

Soto powered a 3-2 pitch off Quincy closer Teddy Rule over the left-field fence for his fifth home run of the season with one out in the bottom of the ninth. David Stober singled to open the ninth and advanced to second on a fielder's choice by Joey Mancuso to set up Soto's blast.
