Early Deficit Too Much For Diamond Hawks In Loss

 
DURHAM, North Carolina – North Carolina Central jumped out to an early seven-run lead and held off the Seahawks late as the Eagles beat UNCW, 8-6, on Saturday at the Durham Athletic Park.

The Eagles move back to .500 at 16-16 while the Seahawks remain winless on the road this season (0-8) and fall to 12-17.

Five different Eagles had two hits on the night. Carter Williams had two hits and knocked in two runs while Conrad Kovalcik and Andrew Valichka also had two hits and both scored twice.

Jonathan Figueroa (2-3) earned the win, striking out five over five innings of work. Justice Sampson picked up his second save of the season.

UNCW also had five players with two-hit games while Terence Connelly knocked in two runs. Riley Zayicek belted his first career homer and knocked in two runs.

UNCW starter Jordan Beehler (1-5) took the loss after allowing seven runs on 11 hits and a walk in just three innings.

Up next: The series concludes on Sunday with a 1 p.m. start from the Durham Athletic Park.

How it happened: The Eagles jumped on Beehler for four runs in the second and three more in the third for a 7-2 lead. UNCW had cut it to 4-2 in the top of third, but Beehler surrendered all three runs with two out

Home Runs: UNCW: Zayicek 1 (off Figueroa in the sixth inning, one on); NCCU: Michalski 3 (off Beehler in the second inning, leading off)
