Seahawks Open CAA Play With Twinbill Sweep

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Junior Jada Santiago tallied four hits and scored two runs as UNCW opened Colonial Athletic Association play by sweeping a doubleheader against the College of Charleston at Boseman Field on Saturday afternoon.
 
The Seahawks, who ran their record to 5-13 overall and 2-0 in the CAA, took the first game by a 6-3 margin before posting a 2-1 victory in the nightcap. Charleston stands 3-16 overall and 0-2 in the league.
 
Santiago posted a pair of two-hit performances to anchor the Seahawks' 12-hit attack. She went 2-for-2 in the opener with two runs batted in before going 2-for-3 in the nightcap with a run scored.
 
Junior Janel Gamache added two hits while six other players contributed a hit.
 
Graduate student Rylee Pate and sophomore Amberlyn Pearce posted a pair of complete-game efforts in the circle for UNCW. Pate earned her first win of the season after allowing three runs on eight hits with two strikeouts in the opener. Pearce, meanwhile, upped her record to 2-4 after scattering four hits with one run allowed and one strikeout.
 
How It Happened – Game 1: UNCW broke a 1-all tie by scoring five consecutive runs to take a 5-1 lead it did not relinquish. Santiago drove in a pair of runs with a double to left center in the third inning before the Seahawks plated three more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.
 
How It Happened – Game 2: After Charleston claimed a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning, UNCW answered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the frame for a 2-1 advantage. Junior Logan Bjorson tied the game with an RBI ground out before junior Camryn Dean's single through the right side added the go-ahead marker. Pearce allowed just two hits over the final five frames to nail down the victory.
 
Notes of Interest: UNCW has won back-to-back games for the first time this season … The Seahawks ended a five-game losing streak to the Cougars with the doubleheader sweep … Junior Gabriella Hessenthaler was caught stealing for the first time in 10 attempts this season in the second game … Charleston and UNCW combined to go 17-for-31 in advancement opportunities in the first game … Pearce induced 15 ground ball outs in the second game.
 
Up Next: UNCW and Charleston complete the three-game series with a single game on Sunday, Mar. 28, at noon.
