Wolves Rally to Sweep Doubleheader from Wingate

NEWBERRY, S.C. - Newberry swept both games of their South Atlantic Conference doubleheader from Wingate Saturday afternoon.

GAME ONE

After a scoreless first inning, Ward Hacklen II singles through the left side with one out in the bottom of the second. Zane Tarrance then was hit by a pitch to put runners on first and second. The runners moved up 90 feet on a flyout by Rhett Jolly, and Hacklen then scored on a single by Dalton Lansdowne to give the Wolves a 1-0 lead.

Jack Harris led off with a single and advance to second on a wild pitch in the bottom of the fourth. Aiden Baur then drew a walk, and Hacklen laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Harris and Baur into scoring position. Jolly then laced a double down the left-field line, scoring both runners and making it a 3-0 game. The Bulldogs would get a run in the top of the seventh but could not complete the rally. 

Harris was 2-3 with a triple and a run scored, while Colin Allman was 2-3 to lead the Wolves at the plate. Tomas Sorcia, Jr. (2-1) continued to dominate on the mound allowing one run on two hits and striking out seven in a complete-game performance.

GAME TWO

Wingate jumped on the board early with a leadoff home run in the top of the first to take the 1-0 lead. The Bulldogs kept the lead until the bottom of the fourth. With one out in the inning, Harris would be hit by a pitch, Kenny Bergmann then drew a walk, and Aiden Baur also was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Freshman Jacob LeBron pinch hit for Newberry and drew a walk to pick up his first career RBI and tie the game at one.  

The Wolves would add two runs in each of the next two innings to take a 5-2 lead into the seventh inning. Wingate scored a run in the top of the seventh to make it a two-run game. The Bulldogs added three runs in the top of the eighth to take their first lead of the day over Newberry 6-5. Their lead would be short-lived, however. Nick Butler would line a one-out triple to right-center field, and then Luke Orr drew a walk. Orr would steal second on a strikeout to put the go-ahead run in scoring position with two outs. Bergmann stepped to the plate and lined a single over the shortstop's head to score both runners and give Newberry the lead 7-6. After coming into the game in the eighth, Josh Stempihar (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth to give Newberry the win.  

Butler led the Wolves at the plate, going 3-5 with a triple, RBI, and two runs scored. Bergmann finished the game 2-4 with two RBI's. 

The two teams will wrap up their four-game series tomorrow with a doubleheader starting at 1:00.
