Power Day From Halstead Helps Eagles Take Game One From Radford 6-3

Winthrop improves to 12-4 when recording double-digit hits.

ROCK HILL, S.C. – Winthrop baseball (17-18, 9-4 Big South Conference) opened its series with Radford (12-21, 4-9 Big South Conference) with a 6-3 victory Friday evening at The Winthrop Ballpark. The Eagles recorded 14 hits, including three multiple-base hits from senior Tyler Halstead, just one shy of their season-high 15.

HOW IT HAPPENED
-Winthrop got on the board first in the bottom of the 2nd courtesy of a RBI single by Alex Raines, but Radford was able to answer with a score on a wild pitch to tie it 1-1.

-Dillon Morton knocked a double to right center in the bottom of the 3rd to bring home Mitch Spires for a 2-1 lead.

-Two scoreless frames would be broken by Tyler Halstead in the bottom of the 6th with a two-run bomb over the left field fence for a 4-1 lead.

-Brandon Fite tacked on another in the 6th with a RBI single to bring home Alex Raines. With runners on the corners, Mitch Spires sent another single into center to bring Jake Sullivan across and push the lead to 6-1.

-The Highlanders took advantage of two Eagle errors to spark their offense in the 8th, plating two off RBI singles to cut the lead to 6-3 but would be unable to mount a scoring threat in the 9th as Winthrop secured the series-opening win.
 
NOTABLES
-Brandon Fite was 3-for-5 at the plate including a double and his RBI single.

-Tyler Halstead went 3-for-4, all for multiple bases, two doubles and a home run.  

-Nate Pawelczyk went 7.0 innings, allowing just three hits and one run and posting eight strikeouts, which matches his season-high (ETSU).

-Mitch Spires recorded two hits, bringing his team-leading total of multiple-hit games to 14. With tonight's 6th-inning single RBI, Spires has posted at least one RBI in six of the last seven games.

UP NEXT
The series concludes Saturday with a doubleheader starting at 1 p.m. with the second game set to begin approximately 45 minutes after the conclusion of the first.

The Eagles have two midweek contests next week, heading to Davidson on Tues., Apr. 17 at 6 p.m., then hosting USC Upstate at 6 p.m. on Weds., Apr. 18. Winthrop continues Big South play at home with a three-game series next weekend, Fri.-Sun., Apr. 20-22, against UNC Asheville.
