The left-handed hitting Walsh hit one ball over the right field wall and hit the top of the wall on another swing. Only four of his swings did not reach the outfield.
Connecticut's George Springer, Louisville's Cade Stallings, Notre Dame's David Casey, and Cincinnati's Justin Riddell punched their ticket to the championship round. Casey won the contest with six home runs in the final round.
