GREENSBORO, N.C. – The UNC Greensboro (UNCG) baseball team shut out the North Carolina A&T Aggies, 7-0, to complete a three-game series sweep on Monday night at UNCG Baseball Stadium.
After a scoreless first frame, UNCG got on the board first with Jacob Budzik blooping a double just inside the right-field foul line and later scoring on a single to left by Case Kermode.
The Spartans proceeded to score two more runs in each of the next three innings before cruising to the 7-0 victory. It started in the third inning with Budzik singling up the middle to score Parker Wight and Luke Holland, making it 3-0.
The fourth inning saw Trey Truitt score after the Aggies' shortstop muff a fielder's choice attempt flipped over to second by the second baseman. Jacob Dilley then scored later in the inning on a wild pitch to make it 5-0 Spartans.
In the fifth inning, a throwing error by the Aggies' third baseman allowed Trey Truitt to score before his brother, Brantley Truitt, drew a bases-loaded walk three at-bats later, which capped the scoring at 7-0.
