UNCW Pounds Out 23 Hits In 17-7 Win Over ETSU


WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Nick Feight and Brian Mims led an explosive UNCW offense as the Seahawks pounded East Tennessee State, 17-7, to clinch a non-conference series on Saturday at Brooks Field.

The Seahawks improved to 22-9 with their seventh consecutive win, a season-high, and raised their record to 17-2 at home. The Buccaneers fell to 15-19 with their sixth straight setback.

Feight finished with three hits, including a pair of doubles, and a career-high six runs batted in. He raised his national-leading total to 59 RBI's. Mime, meanwhile, banged out a career-high five hits, scored three runs and drove in two. Adding three-hit games for UNCW, which collected a season-high 23 hits, were Kennard McDowell and Daniel Stack, who homered twice. Freshman Ryan Jeffers made the most of his start, finishing with four hits, including his first career round trippers, and three RBI's.
Reliever Austin Easter (1-0) picked up the win as he spear-headed the UNCW bullpen effort with three hitless innings of relief while striking out four.

Lance Mays homered for ETSU while Caleb Longley knocked in two runs.

Starter Lee Haeberle lasted just 2.2 innings, allowing 10 runs on 12 hits.

Up next: The Seahawks and Buccaneers close out the series with a 2 p.m. start on Sunday.

Home Runs: ETSU – Mays (off Royalty in the fourth inning, two on, two out); UNCW – Stack (off Haeberle in the third, one on, two out/off Jacques in the seventh, none on, two out), Jeffers (off Jacques, one on, two out)

How it happened: UNCW plated nine runs on 10 hits in the third inning to take a 10-1 lead. Nick Feight had a two-run double and Stack launched a two-run homer later in the inning.

Inside the box score: UNCW had 13 2-out hits and 14 with runners on base … The Seahawks finished with 11 2-out RBI's with Feight, Jeffers and Stack having three each … UNCW landed its leadoff hitter on base five times while ETSU did so just once … The Seahawks finished 7-for-19 with RISP … The bullpen allowed just one base runner over the final five innings.
