CARY, N.C. – The 2013 Coker baseball
season came to an end on Tuesday (May 28), as the No. 7 Grand
Canyon Antelopes defeated the No. 3 Cobras, 10-2, eliminating them
from the NCAA Division II Baseball National Championship.
With the loss the Cobras close out the season with a 38-16 record,
the third best season in Coker history.
Coker struggled to get their offense going against the 'Lopes,
scoring just two runs on five hits, while Grand Canyon pounded out
10 runs on 13 hits against the Cobra pitching staff.
After falling behind 4-0 through three and a half innings, the
Cobras cut the Grand Canyon lead in half, 4-2, with two runs in the
bottom of the fourth. Coker's first run came on a sacrifice fly
by Fico
Kondla, while an RBI triple byErnie
Kirkwood drove in the second.
The 'Lopes tacked on three more runs in the top of the fifth to
take the 7-2 lead. Zach
Loraine shut down the Grand Canyon offense over the next
4.1 innings, but the 'Lopes were able to push across the final
three runs of the game in the top of the ninth for a 10-2
victory.
Coker's starter Tyler
Witzel (7-6) took the loss. He allowed four runs on six
hits with three strikeouts in four innings on the hill.
At the plate, Kirkwood went 1-for-2 with a triple and an RBI.
Kondla drove in Coker's other run, while Justin
Blechle, Keith
Wolf, Brinley
Griffin and T.J.
Giczkowski each picked up a hit.
The Cobras finish the season as the 2013 NCAA Southeast Region
Champion, the 2013 Conference Carolinas Tournament Champion and as
the No. 3 team in nation. This was also the first time Coker had
advanced to the NCAA Division II Baseball National
Championship.

No. 4 seed Coker Cobras to a 5-3 win over No. 1 seed Mount Olive
Trojans on Saturday (May 18) at the 2013 NCAA Division II Southeast

awaits the winner of the tonight's elimination game at 7 p.m.
between Mount Olive (48-7) and the winner of the 3 p.m. game
against the No. 2 seed USC

Hernandez (6-2) allowed just two runs on two hits with a
strikeout in six innings on the mound and had the Trojan hitters
guessing all day. Zach
Loraine (15) earned his 15th save of the season,
throwing two shut out innings. He gave up two hits and had three
punch-outs.
After three scoreless innings, the Cobras got on the board with
two runs in the top of the fourth. Loraine led of the inning with a
double to right center. A deep fly ball by T.J.
Giczkowski moved Loraine to third with one out. Fico
Kondla followed with a bunt single that scored Loraine, to give
the Cobras the 1-0 lead. Ernie
Kirkwood singled up the middle to put runners on first and
second. Frank
Suarez brought home the second run with a fielder's choice to
make it a 2-0 game.
A scoreless fifth, gave way to the sixth, where Coker added two
more runs, both unearned on an error by the Trojans. An RBI single
by Giczkowski in the top of the seventh made it 5-0 in favor of the
Cobras. Mount Olive tacked on their first runs of the game in the
bottom half of the inning to make it 5-2.
Another Trojan run in the bottom of the eighth made it 5-3, but
a strike 'em out, throw 'em out double play by Loriane and Suarez
ended the Trojan rally. Loraine then closed out the game with a
scoreless ninth, earning
his nation leading 15th save.
Kirkwood was the Cobras leading hitter, going 3-for-4 at the
plate. Kondla and Giczkowski had a pair of hits and drove in a run
each, while Loraine had two hits, including a double with a run
scored.
The Cobras have now knocked off the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 seeds

Mount Olive's Season Ends In Walk-Off 2-1
Loss To Georgia College
Georgia College pitcher Christian Bragg outdueled Mount Olive
College pitcher Derek
Justice and Rob Hogencamp drove in the game-winning run with
one out in the bottom of the ninth as the fifth-seeded Bobcats
defeated the top-seeded and nationally top-ranked Trojans 2-1 in an
elimination game in the Southeast Regional of the 2013 NCAA
Division II Baseball Championship Saturday at Mount Olive, N.C.
Mount Olive College is the host for the regional.
The win, Georgia College's (36-18) third in a row in elimination
games, moves the Bobcats to the championship game Sunday against
fourth-seeded and tournament unbeaten Coker. Georgia College needs
to beat Coker twice to win the regional title, while Coker needs
only one win. Mount Olive is eliminated from the regional.
Due to weather forecasts for Sunday, the championship game has
been moved up to 11 a.m. at Scarborough Field.
Justice (4-2) took a five-hitter into the ninth inning, allowing
only a run in the second inning on Steve Hazel's rbi-infield
single. Justice rebounded after being unable to get out of the
first inning in Mount Olive's first game of the day against Coker.
He had retired 12 of 13 batters going into the ninth and got a
groundout to open the ninth before Georgia College put together its
game-winning rally.
Jeremy Donaldson and Mikee Moore laced back-to-back singles and
Moore advanced to second on the throw. With first base open, Hazel
was walked to set up a force at the plate or a double play ball.
Hogencamp hit a high chopper through the right side to bring
pinch-runner John Welborn home with the winning run.
Bragg (5-2) held Mount Olive hitless until Daniel
Oliver singled with two outs in the top of the fourth. Bragg,
who pitched a scoreless ninth inning in Georgia College's 9-2 win
over USC
Aiken earlier in the day, went the distance, striking out four
and finishing with a six-hitter.
The Trojans tied the game and broke up Bragg's shutout bid in
the top of the seventh as Bryan
Dunlavey led off with a single and stole second, his 34th
stolen base of the season. Dunlavey went to third on Zak
Orrison's sacrifice and scored on Matt
Petrone's single deep in the hole at short. Bragg ended the
threat with a 6-4-3 double play.
Mount Olive's 48 wins are tied for the third highest
single-season total in school history. Mount Olive went 58-6 in the
Trojans' national championship season in 2008 and recorded 49 wins
in 2007.

Coker starter Tyler

Pacers off-balance for 6.2 innings, allowing just one run on nine
hits with three strikeouts. He gave way to the eventual winning
pitcher, Zach

fifth, Aiken tied the ball game at one.
The score remained deadlocked at one for the next three and a
half innings. Then in the top of the tenth, Kondla led off the
inning with a double into left center. Grover then issued a walk
to Ernie
Kirkwood, he hit Frank
Suarez in the back, and then walked Bell to bring home
Kondla for the game-winner.
Kondla finished the night 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a
run scored, while Zach Loraine also had two hits and scored a run.
Bell and T.J. Gizckowski had the other two hits for the Cobras.
When asked about the win, Coach Dave
Schmotzer said, "This is just an amazing ride. We fought
hard tonight and it started with Witzel on the mound. He gave us a
chance to win and we beat a very good USC Aiken ball club."

Trojans Defeat Armstrong 7-3 - Remain
Unbeaten In Southeast Regional
Daniel
Oliver's sixth-inning three-run homer put Mount Olive ahead to
stay and shortstop Mike
Mercurio thwarted a rally with an unassisted double play
as the top-seeded and the nationally top-ranked Trojans remained
unbeaten with a 7-3 victory over No. 4 seed Armstrong Atlantic
State University in the Southeast Regional of the 2013 NCAA
Division II Baseball Championship Friday at Mount Olive, N.C. Mount
Olive College is the host for the regional.
Mount Olive (48-6) advances to the winner's bracket final
Saturday at 11 a.m. against the winner of Friday night's contest
between No. 2 seed USC Aiken and No. 4 seed Coker. Armstrong
(31-17) is eliminated from the regional.
Trailing 3-1 going into the top of the sixth, Mount Olive had
runners on first and second with nobody out as Mercurio drew a
leadoff walk and Jermaine
Berrysingled to center. Armstrong starter Chris Base (4-5)
retired the next two batters on a flyout to right field and a
strikeout before Oliver turned the tide in the game. Oliver blasted
a 1-1 pitch high over the fence down the left field line and the
third base umpire signaled fair ball as the Trojans took their
first lead at 4-3. The home run was Oliver's eighth of the
season.
Mount Olive added two more runs in the seventh on rbi-singles by
Berry and Geno
Escalante, and Oliver narrowly missed another three-run homer
as his drive was ruled just outside the left field foul pole.
Escalante added an opposite-field home run to right in the ninth,
his 10th home run of the season.
Armstrong collected 12 hits off of Trojan starter Matt
Dillon (11-1), who went the distance and benefited from
defensive help. Trojan left fielder Matt
Petrone had two assists as Mercurio relayed a throw to
nail a runner at second base in the third inning and Berry relayed
a throw in the fifth to gun down a runner at the plate. Chris
Fritts and Casey Sherlin had rbi-singles for Armstrong to give the
Pirates an early lead.
The Pirates put runners on first and second with nobody out in
the bottom of the eighth as Chase Butler beat out an infield single
and R.J. Dennard drew a walk. Clayton Miller followed with a line
drive to the left side and Mercurio went up to attempt a leaping
catch. The ball was in Mercurio's webbing, but came out after he
landed on the infield dirt. Mercurio picked up the ball, tagged
Butler and stepped on second for the double play. Dillon got one of
his seven strikeouts to end the inning.
Mount Olive goes into day three unbeaten for the second time in
the last three years and the fourth time in the Trojans' last five
NCAA II Southeast Regional appearances.
