GREENSBORO – A tough night on the mound for the North Carolina A&T baseball team resulted in a 13-1 defeat to UNC Greensboro in a non-conference midweek game inside UNCG Baseball Stadium.
The Aggies (12-23) mustered just a single run on an RBI single up the middle from junior infielder Anthony Hennings in the seventh inning.
It was all UNCG (13-22), however, beginning in the UNCG second. Pres Cavanaugh and Dallas Callahan started with back-to-back singles. Then, two batters later, GC Jarman homered to right field. Zack Budzik tripled to follow. A groundout scored Budzik to make it 4-0.
Sophomore right-hander Jake Delisi (L, 0-2) got the nod on the mound for A&T. He went two innings, giving up four runs, all earned, on five hits.
In the fourth inning, Budzik smacked a two-run homer to left field, scoring Jarman. Two batters later, Hogan Windish got in on the action and launched a homer to left.
A&T got its run in the seventh, but the Spartans replied with three more runs in their seventh, highlighted by a two-run single from Budzik.
Jared Mathewson (W, 3-4) notched the win for UNCG after going three scoreless innings, only allowing three hits and a strikeout.
Jarman (3-for-3, 2 R, 5 RBI) and Budzik (3-for-5, 2 R, 4 RBI) combined for six of the Spartans' 18 hits and nine runs batted in. Eleven UNCG batters registered hits in the game, with three recording three hits apiece.
Hennings paced the Aggie bats with his three hits and the lone RBI.
