Baseball Stays Perfect in Big South With Win at Presbyterian

CLINTON, S.C. -- The Winthrop University baseball team used a two-run seventh inning to pull away and Brayden Gilley struck out eight over 6.1 innings as the Eagles opened their first Big South road series with a 4-2 victory over Presbyterian on Friday evening at Elton Pollock Field.
GAME INFORMATION

RECORD: Winthrop (23-11, 7-0 Big South) | Presbyterian (6-29, 2-8 Big South)
WINTHROP LEADERS: Gabe Natividad (2-for-4, RBI, HBP) | Corey Wouters (1-for-5, HR, RBI, SB) | Jaylen Hernandez (1-for-3, double, 2 walks) | Colin Crowley (1-for-4, double)
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Natividad was hit by a pitch to lead off the game and came around to score on a fielding error after Skowronski singled and Wouters reached on a fielder's choice for a 1-0 lead
  • Presbyterian tied it in the second on a Nick Smith solo homer to left
  • Natividad singled to start the third and scored on a Grossington RBI single through the right side to put Winthrop back on top 2-1
  • Gilley settled in from there, retiring 13 of the next 14 batters he faced and carrying a 2-1 lead into the seventh
  • Crowley doubled to right to lead off the seventh and Natividad singled him home to make it 3-1
  • Wouters followed with a solo homer to left center to push the lead to 4-1
  • Presbyterian got one back in the seventh when Cam Mallo doubled and scored on a wild pitch to cut it to 4-2
  • Ben Rehkow entered in relief and induced a double play to end the seventh, then retired all five batters he faced over 2.2 scoreless innings to lock it down and earn his second save
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Gilley earned his fifth win with eight strikeouts over 6.1 innings, allowing two runs on six hits
  • Rehkow was sharp in relief with 2.2 scoreless innings and three strikeouts to close it out
