Gardner-Webb Drops 9-0 Decision at Wofford Sunday Afternoon
February 21, 2021 | Baseball
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – An eight-run fourth inning for Wofford doomed the Runnin' Bulldogs, as the Terriers would take Sunday's opening weekend series finale by a 9-0 score at Russell C. King Field in Spartanburg, S.C.
Gardner-Webb (1-2) fell behind early, as Wofford (2-1) scored once in the bottom of the first on a RBI double by Lawson Hill.
Neither team pushed a run across until the bottom of the fourth when the Terriers seized control of the contest. Â Wofford scored eight runs in the frame on three base hits, while GWU pitchers walked five batters and the 'Dogs committed two errors in the field.
Gardner-Webb managed just three base hits on the day, paced by Mitch McLendon, who was 1-for-2 on the day with a double and also reached once on a walk. Â Joe Brazil (1-for-3) and Bo Rusher (1-for-3) collected the remaining base knocks for the Diamond 'Dogs.
Wofford had eight base hits on the afternoon, with Hill (2-for-4, 2B, RBI), Nolen Hester (2-for-2, RBI), and Brennen Dorighi (2-for-4, 2B) pacing that effort.
Casey Young (0-1) took the loss for GWU in his first collegiate start, allowing three earned runs on five base hits with one strikeout in 3.1 innings of work. Â Five arms made appearances from the bullpen, led by Bobby Alcock, who hurled three scoreless innings, allowing no hit with five strikeouts and one walk.
Elliot Carney (1-0) earned the win, tossing five scoreless frames, giving up three base hits while fanning six batters.
Gardner-Webb returns to action on Friday, February 26, opening a four-game weekend series at Georgia. Â Friday's game is slated for a 5:00 pm first pitch in Athens, Ga. with live coverage on SEC Network + (WatchESPN.com / ESPN App).
