Evans, the reigning Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the Week, connected on a solo homer to left in the second inning. It was his third homer of the season.

Brian Port led the CCU offense with a pair of hits and drove in a run.

Alaska Abney (1-0) earned the win in relief for the Chants. Abney hurled 3.2 innings of hitless, shutout relief.

How it happened: Coastal was able to take advantage of three UNCW errors to take a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth. The tying and go-ahead runs scored on a sac fly that as dropped in left. The runner reached second on the play and was headed to third. A throw to third was dropped during the rundown and Hyde scored when home plate was left uncovered.
