Freshmen Lead UNCW In Loss To App State

WILMINGTON, N.C. – Freshmen Emily Whitwell and Becca Merrick combined for five hits and four runs batted in for UNCW, but Appalachian State was able to ride a pair of big innings to a 15-9 win on Sunday in softball action at Boseman Field.

App State closed out the weekend with a 4-0 mark while the Seahawks finished 1-3.

ASU plated a pair of runs in the top of the first and then posted six runs in both the third and fourth innings for a 14-1 lead. UNCW, however, scored three in the fourth and then cut its deficit to five, 14-9, with a five-run fifth.

Julia Girk collected three hits and knocked in two runs to highlight the ASU lineup. Emilie Ching and Makayla McClain both belted home runs. Ching's was a solo shot in the third and McClain's was a two-run shot, also coming in the six-run third.

Whitwell had three hits and a pair of runs batted in for the Seahawks. Cassidy Relay and Merrick both had two hits and scored twice. Merrick, who doubled and tripled, added two RBI's.
