The UNC Greensboro baseball squad improved to 19-1 when leading after the seventh inning, thanks to a tightly contested 2-1 win over Western Carolina at Hennon Field.
Jacob Budzik provided the offense's only extra-base hit, launching a home run in the fourth inning that drove in both runs for the Spartans.
Right-hander Noah Chapman delivered a workhorse performance, throwing seven innings while allowing just two hits, walking six batters and striking out six.
Closer John Horton entered in the ninth and retired two batters via strikeout before inducing a fly out to seal the win.
A Streak That Stands Out
The victory marked the Spartans' third Quad One win of the season, the most in the Southern Conference, and extended Jacob Mueller's on-base streak to 36 games, placing him among the program's longest.
Western Carolina left seven runners on base, while UNCG stranded four, underscoring the importance of timely hitting in a game decided by a single run.
