Seahawks Edge Columbia on Adamczyk's Walk-Off Home Run

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Freshman third baseman Hannah Adamczyk hit a two-run home run to left field with no outs in the bottom of the eighth inning as UNCW extended its win streak to four straight games with a 4-2 comeback victory over Columbia in the series opener at Boseman Field on Thursday evening.

The win elevated the Seahawks' record to 17-9 on the season while Columbia dropped to 3-13 after suffering its ninth consecutive loss.

Adamczyk finished the game with two hits, including a double in the third inning, while driving in three of the Seahawks' four runs. Five other UNCW players tallied a hit in the contest, including freshman Lacey Fox, who had an RBI double in the sixth inning.

Junior Kayla Maloney suffered the loss in the circle after allowing four runs on seven hits. She also tallied two strikeouts with two walks.

Sophomore Maura Lynch and freshman Reilly Metzger each tallied two hits to lead the Lions' 10-hit attack.

How It Happened: After junior Merritt Wilkinson doubled to right center to open the eighth inning, Adamczyk blasted the second pitch of her at-bat over the left field fence for the first home run of her college career. The home run completed the Seahawks' comeback after UNCW trailed by a 2-1 margin in the fourth inning.
