Spartans Stretch SoCon Streak to Six with Win Over VMI

GREENSBORO, N.C.- The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) baseball team started the weekend off strong with a dominant 12-1 win over the VMI Keydets on Friday afternoon.
 
Hogan Windish went 3-for-5 from the plate, just a triple shy of the cycle, and batted in four RBIs to lead the Spartans. Three of his four RBIs came off a three-run homer in the fourth inning to give UNCG a 6-1 lead.
 
Windish's homerun is the 10th of the season. This marks the second consecutive season with 10 or more home runs for the Jefferson, N.C., native.
 
SPARTANS INTERVIEWING SPARTANS WITH BRADLEY BOTT
Bott: "I'm here with Hogan Windish. Tell me how that home run felt today."
Windish: "It felt good. I had a 3-2 count, and I was trying to battle up. He left a good pitch over the plate, and I just connected well with it.
Bott: "What are you taking away from today up to the plate tomorrow?"
Windish: "Just the same approach. Hit the ball hard and see my pitch."

FINAL WORDS FROM COACH GODWIN
On overall performance
"I thought our kids came out and performed well. We got good pitching and timely hits, Hogan had a big blow to put us up 6-1. I thought we played well."
 
On time change
"We condition our kids to do whatever it takes. We get in a tournament setting and you might have to play at nine or 10 in the morning. They are pretty resilient and they are good at doing whatever we ask them to do."
