NC Wesleyan downs Emory, 7-3
Rocky Mount,
NC - In
game two of the NCAA Division III Baseball South Regional, fifth-seeded
North Carolina Wesleyan (28-16) won its seventh straight contest and
recorded the second upset of the day, downing second-seeded Emory (31-8)
by a 7-3 score.
The Bishops jumped out to an early lead in the top of the second. Mark Wooten reached on an error to start the inning, and Kenny Flythe followed with a fielder’s choice that saw Wooten slide into second safely. Shortstop Nathan West then ripped a two-run double to left and promptly scored on a Brad Gardner RBI-double to left-center that gave NC Wesleyan at 3-0 advantage.
Emory answered in the bottom half of the frame with two runs on four singles and an NCWC fielding error. Griffin Baum and Frank Pfister each singled and scored to spark the Eagle rally that ended with the Bishops holding a slim 3-2 lead.
NC Wesleyan, however, extended its lead to 5-2 in the fifth. Second baseman Ryan Snyder connected on a two-run single to centerfield that plated Chris Pecora and Rob Johnson, who had each singled to start the inning.
The Bishops added insurance runs in the seventh and eighth RBIs by Wooten and Pecora to go up 7-2, and hurler Blake Rice did the rest on the mound. Rice (9-2) tossed his tenth complete game of the season, scattering nine hits and allowing just three runs.
Jason Glushon (9-2) took the loss for the Eagles after giving up six runs on eleven hits in seven innings of work.
Pecora was 3-for-5 at the plate to pace the Bishops offensively.
