Wolves Win Conference Series Over Wingate with Doubleheader Split

Freshman Jacob LeBron's walk off single wins game one

NEWBERRY, S.C. - Newberry and Wingate split their second conference doubleheader Sunday, giving the Wolves the series victory three games to one. 

GAME ONE

Wingate took a 1-0 lead on a solo home run in the top of the second to get the scoring going. Trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the fifth, Aiden Baur picked up a one-out infield single and advanced to second on a wild pitch. With two outs in the inning, Baur would score on a single by Dalton Landsdowne to cut the deficit to one run.  

The Wolves continued to trail 2-1 heading into their final at-bat. Zachary Bailes drew a one-out pinch-hit walk, and Baur followed with a single to left to put the tying run in scoring position. Lansdowne singled to left to score Bailes and tie the game at two. Freshman Jacob LeBron then doubled down the line, scoring Baur and giving Newberry the come from behind win.  

Baur was a perfect 3-3 at the plate and score two runs to lead the Newberry offense. Lansdowne and LeBron both added two hits. Matthew Campbell (2-0) picked up the win, allowing one earned run and striking out seven in a complete-game performance.    

GAME TWO

Wingate again took an early lead with a single run in the top of the first. The Bulldogs added another run in the top of the fifth to make it a two-run game. The Wolves would tie the game at two in the bottom of the second. Nick Butler drew a leadoff walk and scored when Luke Orr had a check-swing single that the third baseman threw away, allowing Orr to advance to third. Jack Harris followed with a single up the middle, scoring Orr and tying the game.  

The game would not remain tied long as Wingate would get a grand slam in the top of the sixth to take a 6-2 lead. Lansdowne laced a two-run single to center field in the bottom of the seventh to make it a 6-4 game. The Bulldogs responded with a run in the top of the eighth to increase their lead to three. In the bottom of the eighth, an RBI double by Harris and RBI single from Rhett Jolly would cut the Bulldog lead to one, but the Wolves could not get any more runs as the Bulldogs salvaged the series's final game.  

Lansdowne led the Newberry offense, going 3-4 with two RBI's, while Harris and Jolly added two hits. Connor Hanley-Hodge (0-1) took the loss allowing three earned runs on three hits in one inning of relief work.
