Spartans Upset Top-Seeded Terriers to Win SoCon Championship

GREENVILLE, S.C.- The No. 4 seed UNC Greensboro (UNCG) baseball team defeated the No. 1 Wofford Terriers twice on championship Sunday to punch its ticket to the NCAA Championship.
 
UNCG defeated the Terriers 10-2 in game one to force an all-or-nothing game two. UNCG would go on to win 12-2 in seven innings.
 
The Spartans played three straight double-header games to win their second SoCon Tournament since 2017. They outscored their opponents 58-24 and held them to under eight runs.
 
UNCG had six players named to the All-Tournament team: Price King, Dallas Callahan, Greg Hardison, Zack Budzik, Pres Cavenaugh, and Kennedy Jones. Jones was also named the Walt Nadzak Most Outstanding Player.
 
Jones set tournament records with 16 hits, 17 RBIs, 37 at-bats and 33 total bases and matched the tournament record with five home runs. He also became UNCG's single-season RBI record-holder with 73.
 
RHP Austin Parsley threw his third complete game of the season in game one. He allowed nine hits, and two runs, and struck out five batters. Parsley earned his 10th win of the season.
 
Hunter Shuey earned his sixth start of the season in game two. He pitched 7.0 innings, allowed six hits, two runs, and struck out four batters. Shuey earned his first playoff win.
 
"We've watched Hunter grow up in front of our eyes this year," said head coach Billy Godwin. "I always say I don't need freshmen in the postseason to be freshmen, I need them to grow up and be sophomores. I didn't have any reservation about handing him the ball because he's such a great competitor."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED (GAME ONE)
  • The Spartans jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead behind an RBI single from Smith and an RBI  groundout from Hardison.

  • Wofford added one run before the Spartans won the game to force a second game.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED (GAME TWO)
  • UNCG scored first in the third inning with back-to-back-to-back home runs from Windish, Cavenaugh, and Smith.
  • Windish's was a two-run homer.

FINAL WORDS FROM COACH GODWIN
"It's unbelievable. They are a resilient group. I told them earlier that I've had better teams, but I've never had a team that I'm more proud of how they battled and grinded."
