Due West, SC – The Flying Fleet baseball team sent their senior class out with a win, defeating Wingate University 2-0 Saturday afternoon.
In the bottom of the second, senior
Hanlon Maivelett would reach on a fielder's choice and then steal second. He would then score on senior
Joey Wilson's single to center field to give Erskine the 1-0 lead. They would add an insurance run in the seventh when
Chase Watts scored on a sacrifice fly by
Zach Smith. That would be all Erskine would need as they took the victory.
Wilson was 2-4 with an RBI to lead the seniors on Saturday, while
Chris Moody came off the bench and was 2-2. Senior
Austin Gambrell (6-2) picked up the win allowing just one hit in four innings and striking out four. Fellow senior
Zach McAllister (7) got the save allowing one hit in a scoreless inning of relief.
