Tyler Bream, on an 0-2 count, singles down the line and Matt Williams scores, and we're up 1-0.

Heading to the bottom of the first.

Two infield singles for UNCW with two outs, followed by a hit batsman, and the bases are loaded.

Evans gets the batter down 0-2, and after a bit of a battle, induces a lineout to right.

We head to top 2.

Nothing goin' top 2, as there's a hit by pitch, and nothing else.

This a big early season game for the Flames. A chance to get a win against a team that should be at the top of the CAA and the opportunity to get a W against a real quality starter. Cropper, prior to arm surgery, was a front-line starter for UNCW. Had a good year last year in his first year back. Great opportunity for the boys today.

Evans walks one in the bottom of the second, but no damage is done.

To the top of the third we go.

These announcers need a good :buttkick off the air. Calling Nick Pierce for all home and away games for the radio.

Matt Williams leading off the top of the third with good plate patience, and puts one deep to center for a double, his third double this season.

PJ making Cropper pitch a lil' bit, as well, with a good eye, and puts a ground ball through the middle that scores Williams. 2-0, LU.

Curran Redal sneaks in a bunt for a single. No outs, first and second.

Bream reaches on an error by the 2B, and PJ scores. 3-0.

Nate Thompson puts one off the base of the wall, and it's an RBI double. 4-0.

Matt Williams leaves the game after rolling his ankle or leg on first trying to dig out a hit.

If anyone hears anything of his condition, please let us know.

5-1 LU, end 4. The lone UNCW run was off a line drive shot over the CF fence.

4.1, 8 hits, 5 runs for Cropper, and he's done.

Josh Richardson, who came in for Matty W., cranks one deep, and it's 6-1. His first time to bat this year, and he makes the most of it.

Runners on first and second for LU in the top of the 7th. Up 6-1. Evans has pitched 6 pretty solid innings so far.

UNCW making another pitching change.

Provided we hold on today, this has been a solid weekend, and a very solid start to the season.

It's lookin' good so far. 3 more innings worth of pitching, and we can go home 6-0.

Bottom 7, Evans still going strong.

Evans has not allowed a leadoff hitter to reach base in any inning, 7 so far. That's good stuff.

6-0 would be the best start under Toman, 5-0 was the best start for him 2 years ago, as we won the Clearwater tourney, came home, took two from Rider before losing to the Broncs 5-4.

Evans allows another hit, and is pulled. 6-2 lead as Toman makes the pitching change.

6 2/3 IP, 6 H, 2 R, both earned, 1 BB, 4 K is the line for Evans. In line for a win if we get two good innings of pitching.

Tim Dudley coming in for the Flames. Had one scoreless inning in his first appearance this year.

Fly ball to Curran Redal, and Dudley does his job.

Trey with a double to left-center. An insurance run or two would be nice.

Kenneth Negron sacrifices the runner over to third.

The pitcher then walks Josh Richardson on 4 pitches.

PJ tries to squeeze home a runner, but it dribbles foul, the next pitch, we go for a steal of second with Josh, the throw is bad, and Wimmer scores. 7-2.

PJ strikes out, 2 outs, runner at second.

Curran at the plate... and UNCW changes pitchers again. He bloops it into the outfield and a run scores. 8-2.
