Softball Splits Twinbill in Weekend Finale

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – The UNCW softball team split a pair of games against Georgetown and Appalachian State to close out its second home weekend tournament at Boseman Field on Sunday.

The Seahawks (4-10) claimed a 5-3 decision over the Hoyas (2-10) before falling to the Mountaineers (8-3) by a 9-3 verdict to close out the three-day weekend.

UNCW will travel to Columbia, S.C. next weekend for a pair of doubleheaders vs. Illinois and Columbia on Mar. 4 followed by North Carolina A&T and the host Gamecocks on Mar. 5.

GAME 1 | UNCW 5, Georgetown 3

Second baseman Tayler Vitola went a perfect 4-for-4 with a triple, RBI, run scored, and stolen base to lead the Seahawks over the Hoyas in the morning contest.

Sophomore right-hander Kara Hammock (2-2) needed 91 pitches for her second complete game of the season. The 6-2 Hammock limited Georgetown to five hits and three runs, all unearned, while fanning four batters.

The Hoyas' Julia Parker (0-3) took the loss after allowing six hits, five runs, three earned, with four strikeouts and walks.

Vitola, who is the first Seahawk to have four hits in a game since Lauryn Richardson last year vs. Bucknell, began the bottom of the first with a single and then stole second. Two batters later, the junior scored on a Hoya error when Mary Sobataka laid down a bunt.

The Seahawks plated a second run when Sobataka and Arial Pearce, who reached on a fielder's choice earlier in the inning, executed a double steal with Pearce taking home.

Vitola drove in a run an inning later when she shot a two-out triple down the right field line with the count 1-2 to score Skylar Stockton.

UNCW cashed in two Georgetown errors in the fourth for two unearned runs with two outs.

The Hoyas scored three unearned runs in the top of the sixth, but Hammock maintained her composure to retire the final four batters she faced for the 800th win in program history.

GAME 2 | Appalachian State 9, UNCW 3

A seven-run sixth inning by App State spoiled UNCW's weekend finale on Sunday afternoon.

The Mountaineers sent 12 batters to the plate with seven of the first eight reaching base. The Seahawks allowed three hits but committed a pair of errors that led to three unearned runs.

App State pitcher Delani Bucker (2-1) limited UNCW to two runs, a Janel Gamache two-run double in the bottom of the fifth, and seven hits in 4.1 innings.

Right-hander Emily Winstead (1-2) was tagged with the loss after giving up eight runs, four earned, and four hits along with six walks and four strikeouts in 5.1 innings.

The Mountaineers scored a run in the first and fifth innings before Gamache's two-bagger briefly evened the game at 2-all entering the decisive sixth inning.

The Seahawks added on a run in the bottom of the sixth when Morgan Britt, who singled to start the frame, scored on a wild pitch.
