North Lincoln Wins a Classic over Mooresville
An 8th inning home run off the bat of Nick Solomita (SS, 2018, UNC Greensboro commit) was the only run of the night as North Lincoln beat Mooresville 1-0 in the semi-finals of the North Piedmont Conference Tournament
Trevor Whitley (RHP, 2017, Presbyterian commit) worked the first 4.2 innings allowing only 1 hit but walking 6. Brady Dreenan (RHP, 2017) was unhittable in relief. Drennan allowed only 1 walk, while striking out 7 to pick up the win.
Mooresville’s two arms were up to the task as well. Drew Miller pitched into the 7th without giving up a run. In relief, Justin Jarvis (RHP, 2018, UNC Wilmington commit) struck out 4 over 1.2 innings, but did give up the home run.
