UNCW Finishes Off Sweep Of Huskies With 7-3 Win

 
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Brian Mims had three hits and Logan Beehler limited Northeastern to  three runs on five hits as UNCW finished off a sweep of the Huskies on Sunday with a 7-3 win at Brooks Field.

The Seahawks (24-22, 12-6 CAA) remained in a first-place tie with William & Mary in the Colonial Athletic Association standings. Northeastern (22-22, 11-7 CAA) suffered its fifth consecutive loss and dropped back to third place.

Mims, who raised his batting average to .331 on the season, singled in each of his first three at bats of the game. Casey Golden slammed his third homer in as many games while Terence Connelly belted his first round tripper of the season with a man on.

Beehler (2-6) matched his season-high of 7.1 innings in picking up the win. Beehler scattered five hits, walked none and struck out five.

Cam Hanley had the lone multi-hit game for the Huskies, finishing 2-for-4.
