JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 UNCW finished off a non-conference road series sweep of Jacksonville with a 7-2 rain-shortened victory on Sunday at Sessions Park.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks improved to 10-6 with the win while the Dolphins, who have lost their last six, fell to 9-7. The last non-conference sweep for UNCW was at Kentucky in 2020.<\/p>\n

In the Seahawks’ fourth inning, homers off the bats of\u00a0Trevor Lucas<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Cole Nelson<\/a>\u00a0highlighted the five-run frame. Lucas belted a solo shot, his third of the season, to open the scoring. Nelson followed three batters later with a towering homer to left with a man on for a 3-0 lead.\u00a0Josh Martinez<\/a>\u00a0lined a RBI double into the left center field gap, and\u00a0JP Pennella<\/a>\u00a0plated Martinez with a single, one batter later.<\/p>\n

Starter\u00a0Bromley Thornton<\/a>\u00a0(2-1) went the distance, allowing two runs, on five hits and a pair of walks. He struck out four.

\nPennella and Nelson both had two hits in the game. Nelson knocked in three runs.<\/p>\n

Brendan Holland (1-3) was saddled with the loss for the Dolphins. The lefthander surrendered five runs on seven hits. He walked one and fanned four in 3.2 innings.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks return to Brooks Field on Mar. 10, with a 6 p.m. start against Charleston Southern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Next Game: Charleston Southern 3\/10\/2026 | 6:00 PM Mar. 10 (Tue) \/ 6:00 PM …\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":183539,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":{"0":"post-183538","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville","8":"tag-jacksonville","9":"tag-jacksonville-headlines","10":"tag-jacksonville-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183538"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183538\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/183539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183538"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
