UNCW Suffers Extra Innings Loss To Elon

WILMINGTON, N.C. – UNCW dropped its fifth one-run game of the season on Saturday as Elon struck for the eventual go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning for a 5-4 win at Brooks Field.

The Phoenix, who are playing their first Colonial Athletic Association series of the season, improved to 7-12 overall and 1-1 in the league. The Seahawks, meanwhile, dropped to 14-9 and 3-5 in the CAA. Four of those five losses have been one-run games.

Dillon Lifrieri collected three doubles for the Seahawks on the afternoon while Cole Weiss and Matt Suggs added two apiece.

UNCW reliever Bryce Cota (0-2) took the loss as the international tiebreaker automatically puts a runner on second base to begin extra innings.

Anthony Galason, who finished with four hits including his third home run of the season that gave Elon a 4-2 lead in the eighth, drove in the eventual winning run with a single to left on a 2-2 offering.

Joe Sprake (3-0) picked the win while Brian Edgington notched his second save of the season, stranding the tying run at third with back-to-back strikeouts to end the game.

Notes: UNCW was 2-for-10 with RISP … Elon mustered just one hit with two outs, finishing 1-11 … Luke Gesell tied his career-high with eight innings pitched for UNCW.
Next up: Game three of the series will start at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
