Tigers Fall 7-6 in Completion of Suspended Game

TOWSON, Md. – In a game that was suspended a day due to lightning and rain, it was UNCW that edged Towson, 7-6, at Schuerholz Park.
 
How it Happened
  • The Seahawks (28-26, 16-7 CAA) got on the board in the first inning after Daniel Stack was hit by a pitch and scored on a Nick Feight single up the middle.
  • The Tigers (19-34, 5-18 CAA) answered back in the home-half of the inning with a Richie Palacios one-out single to right field.  After a balk and a wild pitch moved him to third, Colin Gimblet hit a 3-0 pitch into center for an RBI base hit.
  • Ryan Jeffers helped UNCW regain the lead in the second with a leadoff triple.  He came into score when Zack Canada singled just inside the bag at third.
  • Towson started the second inning with a single to left center from A.J. Gallo and a double to right center from Colin Dyer.  Before the next pitch could be thrown, the game was put into a lightning.
