Suggs Homers To Upend #19 East Carolina

Sophomore homers with two on in the bottom of the ninth

WIMINGTON, N.C. – Matt Suggs sent the Seahawks home winners with a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth in a 5-2 win over nationally-ranked East Carolina on Wednesday at Brooks Field.

The Seahawks ran their record to 11-5 with the walk-off win while the Pirates had a six-game winning streak halted and dipped to 13-4.

For Suggs, it was his second homer of the season and his only hit of the night. Brooks Baldwin added three hits and opened the ninth inning rally with a double. Cole Weiss collected two hits and Kip Brandenburg belted his second round tripper of the season.

Reliever Blake Deatherage (2-0) pitched a perfect ninth inning for the win. The UNCW bullpen combined for six innings of one-run, four-hit baseball.

Lane Hoover, Seth Caddell and Connor Norby each had two hits for the Pirates.

Ryder Bridges (0-1) was saddled with the loss in relief.

Up next: The Seahawks host East Tennessee State on Friday at 6 p.m. in the first of a three-game series.

Scoring:
T4: Ben Newton was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to give ECU a 1-0 lead.
B4: Brandenburg homered to left to tie it at 1-all.
T5: Hoover tripled inside the first base bag and scored on Zach Agnos' fly ball to right for a 2-1 ECU lead.
B6: Baldwin tripled to right scoring Jac Croom, who drew a leadoff walk, from second to tie the game at 2-all.
B9: Baldwin doubled to open the inning and Trevor Marsh was intentionally walked. Suggs jumped on the first pitch and homered to left to give UNCW a 5-2 win.

Inside the box score: The teams combined to use 11 pitchers with UNCW sending six to the mound … The last walk-off homer for the Seahawks was Mason Berne against the College of Charleston on May 17, 2018 … Baldwin now has four multi-hit games on the season … Nick Bruno entered the game with the bases loaded and none out in the fourth inning and held ECU off the board.
