N.C. Wesleyan Out Pitches Methodist in First Two Games of Series

ROCKY MOUNT, N.C.  Methodist University baseball traveled up to North Carolina Wesleyan University for a USA South Athletic Conference doubleheader on Saturday afternoon. The Monarchs came up short in both games, 1-0 & 4-1, as the Battling Bishops locked up the USA South regular season title.
 
THE ESSENTIALS
Final results: N.C. Wesleyan def. Methodist, 1-0; N.C. Wesleyan def. Methodist 4-1
Records: Methodist 27-10 (13-7 USA South), N.C. Wesleyan 29-8 (17-3)
Location: Bauer Field, Rocky Mount, North Carolina
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Game 1:
  • A classic pitcher's duel was what the fans got in the first contest. On the pump for Methodist was Kyle Molivas while N.C. Wesleyan sent out its ace Payne Stolsworth.
  • Both haulers scattered four hits each and went the distance for their respective teams. In eight innings of work, Molivas gave up one run (unearned) while striking out five Battling Bishops and allowing two walks. Stolsworth struck out eight Monarchs, issued three free passes, and zero runs through nine innings.
  • The lone N.C. Wesleyan run came in the bottom of the eighth off a Luke Chung sacrifice fly.
Game 2:
  • Both sides were held scoreless during the first two innings. Colin Scoggins changed that for the Battling Bishops, in the bottom of the third, after hitting an RBI single.
  • Back-to-back homeruns by Zach Lyon and Tyson Bass made it 3-0 in favor of N.C. Wesleyan.
  • Caleb Rogers was able to record the first Methodist run, 3-1, of the day with his RBI infield hit.
  • In the eighth, an RBI base hit by Drifton Padgett gave the Battling Bishops a 4-1 insurance run before closing the game out in the ninth.
STAT FACTS
N.C. Wesleyan's game two starter, Hunter Hill, pitched well. Through eight innings, Hill gave up one run on six hits and had an 8:1 K:BB ratio.
Jackson Deal led the Monarchs offense by going 3 for 8 in the two games combined.
 
UP NEXT
Methodist will have a one-day break before returning to N.C. Wesleyan on Monday to wrap up the regular season. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m.
