Cullowhee, NC - Western Carolina overpowered Furman, 9-2 Saturday at Hennon Stadium. The Catamounts improved their record to 24-11, and 9-5 in the Southern Conference, while the Paladins dropped to 17-19, 7-10 SoCon. The win gave the Cats a series victory over the Paladins 2-0, and they will go for the sweep Sunday afternoon.
“I thought we played really well today,” said head coach Bobby Moranda. “We played well defensively, turning a few big double plays. We had some big hits with two strikes today. I thought two strike hitting was the difference today in the game. I thought Tyler White’s approach was outstanding today through the middle of the field. We had a few two-out RBI and those are backbreakers for opposing teams. Morgan [McKinney] made some big pitches when he needed to and competed. He just competes. The bullpen came in and helped us out in a big way. They all came in and threw strikes and did exactly what we needed them to do.”
