Highlanders Blanked by Western Carolina in Series Finale
3/19/2023 3:33:00 PM | Baseball
CULLOWHEE, N.C. — In the series finale, the Radford baseball team fell to Western Carolina by a 9-0 final on Sunday afternoon at Hennon Stadium.
The Highlanders (7-13) struggled to find offense for the majority of the day. Freshman left fielder Austin Stalker went 1-for-3, while catcher Julian Rojas earned three walks, marking a single-game career high for the senior backstop.
On the mound, Radford got two shutout innings from RHP Landon Higgerson, as well as two valuable innings from Bannon Brazell, who came in late to get the last six outs.
Dylan Wheeler was the winning pitcher for Western Carolina (9-11), going six strong and yielding just three hits. Zack Mallia, in his first career start, took the loss for Radford.
UP NEXT
Radford will welcome in-state rival James Madison to Carter Memorial Stadium on Tuesday afternoon in a much-anticipated reunion for head coach Alex Guerra, who was an assistant at JMU for several years under Marlin Ikenberry. First pitch is set for 4 p.m.
