HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Winthrop quickly went up 2-0 in the top of the first when Hopkins hit a home run on the very first pitch of the game and then with the bases loaded with two outs, the Spartans walked in Joseph Szvetitz.
  • Upstate cut it to one in their half of the first on an error and then tied it in the next inning on an RBI single.
  • The Spartans took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the fourth on a wild pitch.
  • Then in the bottom of the sixth Upstate hit an inside the park home run to extend their lead to 6-2.
  • Hopkins hit his second home run of the game in the top of the eighth, this one a three-run homer, to give Winthrop life.
  • But the Eagles couldn't tie or take the lead in their last chance at bat.
