Winthrop Sweeps Liberty This Weekend After Winning 13-2 On Saturday

LYNCHBURG, VA – The Winthrop baseball team banged out 16 hits and erupted for its highest run total of the season as the Eagles won their fourth straight game in a 13-2 victory over Liberty on Saturday to complete a Big South Conference sweep at the Liberty Baseball Stadium.

Winthrop has now swept the Flames two straight years and improves to 20-16 overall and 8-4 in Big South play, while Liberty falls to 20-14 and 7-5 in the Big South.  Winthrop will go after its fifth straight win on Tuesday when it travels to North Carolina A&T on Tuesday for a 6 p.m. game.

Winthrop scored three in the fifth to pull away from a 2-2 tie when senior Anthony Paulsen walked, advanced to second on a single by junior Mitch Spires, and scored on a single to left center by sophomore Hunter Lipscomb. Senior Babe Thomas then reached first after lining a shot off the Liberty pitcher that loaded the bases.. Junior Tyler Halstead  singled up the middle to score Spires and Lipscomb to give the Eagles a 5-2 lead.

The Eagles put the game away with a run in the eighth and then plated seven more in the ninth as they collected six hits and took advantage of four walks.

Halstead went 2 for 4 with two RBI. Spires was 2 for 5 with two singles, and Lipscomb went 1 for 3 with one RBI.

Freshman right hander starter Colton Rendon earned the win as he threw six innings, allowed two runs (none earned) and improved to 4-3 on the season. Sophomore Dalton Whitaker earned his sixth save on the season. Liberty reliever Jack Degroat suffered the loss and falls to 0-1 after he gave up the three fifth inning runs and lasted just two-thirds of an inning.
