Going Deep with UNCP - Fourth Entry

Tuesday's 15-6 win over Wingate, UNCP's 12th consecutive victory over the Bulldogs, included long balls from seniors Kevin Dietrich and Edmund Locklear.

Locklear's first homerun of the season, an eighth inning bomb to right off a Wingate reliever, was out of the park off the bat. Dietrich's three-run blast in the seventh gave his team an 11-0 lead. The senior from Charlotte drove in five runs to give him a team-leading 36 this season. Dietrich and Seth Kivett are tied for the team-lead in round trippers with six.

Coach Paul O'Neil stressed the importance of Locklear's regained confidence after Tuesday's game. "It's great to see Locklear square up pitches," O'Neil said. "If we want to be good as a team, Ed has to come through for us."
