Wednesday Roundup: New Mexico State Sweeps Arizona



Top 25 Upsets

• New Mexico State completed a two-game midweek sweep of Arizona with a 13-8 win. The Aggies pounded out 16 hits and drew nine walks against five Arizona pitchers, including Konner Wade (1 IP, 0 H, 4 ER, 4 BB, 1 K), who continued to scuffle in a midweek relief appearance. Zac Fisher (4-for-6, 4 RBI) led the offense for the Aggies, who improved to 17-8.

• No. 8 South Carolina heads into its big showdown against Florida on a down note. The Gamecocks were knocked off by Wofford, 5-4 in 11 innings, for their fourth loss in their last five games. Mac Doyle (2-for-4, 2 R, 4 RBI) went deep twice for the Terriers, and Konstantine Diamaduros delivered the game-winning RBI single in the top of the 11th. Eric Eck (3.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K) sparkled in relief to earn the win. South Carolina is in the midst of five games in five days, as this weekend's series will be played from Thursday through Sunday to accomodate ESPNU's broadcast.

• Lamar knocked off No. 9 Rice, 5-4. Eight Lamar pitchers scattered 10 hits, and the Owls left 10 runners on base. The Cardinals broke a 4-4 tie with a run in the seventh on Garret Autrey's RBI single.

Other Highlights

• No. 6 Florida State continued to demolish quality opponents, pounding Stetson 9-1 to sweep a two-game midweek series. The Seminoles had beaten the Hatters 17-8 on Tuesday. No. 9 hitter Jose Brizuela (3-for-4, 2 RBI) led FSU's balanced 12-hit attack in support of Luke Weaver (7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K), who earned his first collegiate win.

• No. 16 Kentucky improved to 22-0 with a 10-7 win at Cincinnati. Thomas McCarthy (4-for-5, 2 RBI) seems to have put his slow start behind him, as he led UK's 17-hit barrage behind freshman Chandler Shepherd (5.2 IP, 5 H, 2 ER).

• Clemson completed a two-game midweek sweep of Elon with a 4-2 win behind Daniel Gossett (7 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 10 K). Mike Dunster (3-for-4, 3 RBI) led the Clemson offense.

• Miami improved to 2-0 against Florida Atlantic with an 8-5 win. Brad Fieger (4-for-5, 2 RBI) led the Hurricanes' balanced 13-hit attack.

Clemson's win was Jack Leggett's 1,200th as a college coach, only the 15th person to achieve that milestone.

Eric Eck definitely sparkled for Wofford! I think he struck out the first 5 Gamecocks that he faced.   Impressive!
