Diamond Hawks Score 12 In Final Three Innings For Win

BOONE, N.C. – UNCW exploded for eight runs in the top of the eighth and upended homestanding Appalachian State, 12-3, on Sunday in college baseball action at Smith Stadium.

Joining Croom with multi-hit games were Brooks Baldwin and Trevor Marsh. Marsh drove three runs, all coming on a bases-clearing double in a three-run ninth inning.

Freshman reliever Marty Gair (1-0) earned the win with a career-long three innings of work, walking two and striking out a career-high six and did not allow a hit.

Andrew Terrell, Dylan Rogers and Hayden Cross all had two hits on the afternoon for the Mountaineers.

Trey Jernigan (1-1) was saddled with the loss. He surrendered three runs on two hits and a walk in 0.2 innings of relief.

Taber Mongero followed with a walk and Ron Evans rang a double off the walk in left one batter later. Jernigan followed with a throwing error down the rightfield line scoring two and UNCW led, 4-3. Croom followed with a sac fly to right and several batters later, Dillon Lifrieri chopped a single over a drawn-in infield for a 7-3 lead. Mongero later tripled in the final two runs of the outburst for a 9-3 lead.
