UNCW Takes Advantage Of Spider Miscues In 12-9 Win


WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Steven Linkous and Brian Mims fueled the Seahawks two hits and two runs batted in apiece at the top of the lineup as UNCW finished off a weekend sweep at the Buffalo Wild Wings Battle at the Beach with a 12-9 win over Richmond on Sunday.

The Seahawks improved to 3-0 with the win while the Spiders suffered their first set back to dip to 2-1.

UNCW batted around for the fourth time this weekend in an eight-run third inning to build a 9-2 lead.

Austin Magestro (1-0) picked up the win in relief and Jared Gesell struck out the side in the ninth, all looking, for his first save of the season.
 
UR starter Brendan McGuigan (0-1) was saddled with the loss, allowing five unearned runs in two innings of work.
Joining Linkous and Mims with two-hit outings for UNCW were Daniel Stack and Robbie Thorburn. Stack knocked in two runs and stole a base.

Keenan Bartlett finished the day with four hits and a pair of RBI's while Jonathan De Marte and Dalton Light added three hits apiece. Kurtis Brown and Kyle Schmidt connected on home runs for the Spiders, who out hit the Seahawks, 18-9.

Up next: The Seahawks host Coastal Carolina at 4 p.m. on Feb. 23.

How it happened: UNCW sent 11 hitters to the plate and scored eight runs in the third inning off a trio of UR pitchers. Linkous and Mims highlighted the big inning with a two-run double and two-run single, respectively.

Home runs: UR Schmidt (off Barnes, solo, one out, 7th inning); Brown (off Barnes, solo, one out, 8th inning)

Inside the box score: Richmond held UNCW to 3-for-15 hitting with RISP while going 5-for-14 itself … UR also had five two-out hits … The Seahawks did advance base runners in 18-of-28 opportunities … UNCW surrendered six extra base hits after not allowing any in the first two games.

Notes: UNCW's 43 runs scored in the opening weekend were the most since plating 57 runs in a sweep of UMES in 2006 … Gavin Stupienski extended his hitting streak, which dates back to last season, to 10 games … UNCW starter Taylor Hyssong went a career-best four innings … The bottom four hitters in the UR lineup combined for 12 hits … UNCW turned three double plays.
