Gesell, Roupp Shut Down Tigers In 3-1 Win

TOWSON, Md. – Junior Luke Gesell allowed one run over six strong innings and UNCW struck for three runs in the second inning as the Seahawks opened their Colonial Athletic Association season with a 3-1 at Towson on Friday.

The Seahawks upped their record to 12-10 with the win while the Tigers, losers of their last four, fell to 3-16. For UNCW, it was the program's 1,7--th win all-time.

Gesell (2-2) held the Tigers to a run on six hits and needed just 63 pitches to go six innings thanks in part to pair of double plays turned. Landen Roupp struck out four and scattered two hits over three innings of relief for his second save of the season.

Kep Brown and Noah Bridges had two hits apiece for the Seahawks.

Javon Field and Colin Conroy also had two hits apiece for Towson.

Josh Seils (1-3) took the loss, lasting six innings.

Up next: The series continues Saturday with a 2 p.m. start. Brody Lawson (2-0) gets the start for UNCW while Towson counters with Gavin Weyman (0-3) gets the ball his fifth start of the season.

How it happened: UNCW struck for three runs in the second inning. Greg Jones got things rolling with a double and Riley Zayicek followed with an infield single. After Jones scored on a wild pitch, Brown and Bridges added RBI single to make it 3-0.

Notes: Cole Weiss has now hit in 13 straight games after doubling in the third inning … Jones (7), Zayicek (5) and Brown (5) all extended hitting streaks … UNCW's last game without walking a hitter was against Northeastern on May 24, 2018, at the CAA tournament … Gesell and Roupp combined to limit Towson to one hit with runners on base (1-12) and didn't allow a two-out hit.
