UNCW Cruises Past Georgia Tech, 9-0

The Seahawks will play Georgia at 6 p.m. on Saturday

ATHENS, Ga. –RJ Sales scattered three hits over 7.1 innings and Bryan Arendt belted a second-inning grand slam as UNCW cruised past Georgia Tech, 9-0, in game two of the NCAA Athens Regional on Friday at Foley Field.

Arendt gave the Seahawks a 4-0 lead with a grand slam in the second inning off losing pitcher Brett Thomas (4-2). The Seahawks loaded the bases against the righthander when Brock Wills was hit by a pitch. Arendt followed Wills with his ninth homer of the season, coming off a 1-2 offering.

Arendt led the Seahawks with a program regional record-tying five runs batted in. Trevor Marsh collected two hits as his hitting streak stretched to 16 games. Kevin Jones added a two-run single in a five-run eighth and Jac Croom doubled in two runs in that inning.
