SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) baseball team fell short in a back-and-forth battle in its final game of the series against Wofford, 8-7 on Sunday at Russell C. King Field.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Leading off the game for the Spartans, Jeremy Wolf doubled down the left field line on a 2-2 count. Next up, with Aidan Brewer in the batter's box and Wolf on second base, Wofford's pitcher, Mike Eggert threw to the second basemen in an attempt to catch Wolf stealing. However, the play resulted in two throwing errors from the Terriers, allowing Wolf to advance to third and then run home for UNCG to take the 1-0 lead.
