No. 25 UNCW closes out Mason baseball with three-game sweep

It was little league day at Spuhler Field in Fairfax. The crowd was made up mostly of parents and children clad in various colors of little league teams from all over the Northern Va. region. The matchup on the field was between the Mason Patriots and the UNC Wilmington Seahawks.

For the second straight day, it was a matchup of men against boys as UNCW easily beat Mason, 10-2.

UNCW sprung out of the gate quickly, scoring three runs in the first and four more in the second after Mason scored once in the bottom of the first.

The Seahawks of UNC Wilmington showed on Saturday why they’re ranked No. 25 in the country. They out hit and out pitched the George Mason University Patriots in front of a raucous Spuhler Field crowd of 346, which at times seemed mostly in favor of the visitors.

Over the last 20 games Mason’s record is 2-18. During that span they have frequently beat themselves, either in the form of numerous or costly errors and missed opportunities.
