* NCAA Division I: Coastal Carolina (41-11, 23-4) completed a Sun Belt Conference series sweep of ULM (21-30, 7-20) in a game shorted to 4 1/2 innings by rain. The Chanticleers, who have won 15 straight conference games and 11 straight overall, did their scoring in the second inning. Blake Barthol led off with a homer and Colby Thorndyke had a two-run double to highlight the outburst ... Duke (34-16, 15-11) scored 10 unearned runs in the seventh inning to even its ACC series at Clemson (38-14, 15-11). Luke Gaffney had three hits and Josh Paino drove in three runs with a homer for the Tigers ... Aidan McAskie doubled twice and homered to drive in seven runs as Charleston Southern (26-18, 12-9) took the completion of Friday's suspended game over UNC Asheville (15-31, 8-13), but the Buccaneers were held hitless until the seventh inning in the nightcap as the Bulldogs salvaged the split ... Gage Griggs, Vance Sheahan and Henry Zenor had two hits in each game and USC Upstate (30-22, 16-5) scored in double figures for the 20th and 21st times this season to complete a Big South Conference series sweep of Presbyterian (17-32, 9-15). The Blue Hose have lost 10 straight ... Will Baumhofer and Ethan Plyler had three hits apiece and College of Charleston (30-19, 12-11) clinched a CAA series win over North Carolina A&T (15-33, 9-14) ... A six-run fourth inning helped East Tennessee State  (36-13, 12-5) even its SoCon series with Wofford (29-23, 6-11) ... Wyatt Stanley had three hits and drove in four runs as Western Carolina (26-24, 8-9) clinched a SoCon series win over The Citadel (26-23, 9-8) via run rule ... Radford (26-23, 12-8) charged back from a three-run deficit to clinch a Big South Conference series win over Winthrop (27-24, 11-9).

 

* NJCAA East District: Patrick Evans and Zack Hunt had two hits and an RBI apiece as Florence-Darlington Tech (50-10) bounced back from a Game 1 loss to even its series with Harford (50-9). That forces a deciding game on Sunday, set for 11 a.m. - depending on the weather.  The Owls took a 1-0 lead in the fifth inning of the nightcap before FD Tech rallied. Logan Prisco struck out seven in 6 1/3 innings to get the win. Jackson Burton got the save. Harford handed the Stingers their first shutout of the season in the opener. The series winner advances to the Junior College World Series.
