Thornton Blanks Rams, UNCW Takes Series

WILMINGTON, N.C. – UNCW junior Bromley Thornton delivered a career-long six shutout innings as the Seahawks clinched their series with Fordham on Sunday with a 7-0 win at Brooks Field.

The Seahawks ran their record to 4-3 while the Rams fell to 1-6 to open the season. With its second straight shutout, UNCW ran its shutout streak to 23 innings.

Thornton (1-1) scattered three singles, walked two, and struck out seven in picking up the win. Relievers Jackson Caldwell, Alex Sobol, and Mason Murdock closed out the shutout win, each with a scoreless frame.

UNCW's Danny O'Brien opened the scoring with a two-out double in the first inning, and Aiden Evans added a two-run single in the third to highlight a three-run stanza for a 4-0 lead.

O'Brien added an RBI single and sac flies from Micah Simpson and Jake Bechtel pushed the lead to 7-0 in the fifth.
