Player of the day: Thayer Tavormina, North Greenville, W, 4.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 5 K
* Briefly: CJ Dean's two-run single in the seventh inning gave top-seeded North Greenville (43-8) and the Trailblazers held on beat King (14-37) in the Conference Carolinas Tournament. King built an early three-run lead before NGU rallied. Connor McKee and Landon Peavey had two hits and two RBI apiece for the Trailblazers, who were able to stay in the game with shutout relief pitching from Thayer Tavormina (5-1). North Greenville plays Young Harris at 3 p.m. Friday ... Erskine (27-25) used a pair of three-run innings to get ahead early, but Francis Marion (41-10) erupted for eight runs in the third inning and went on to win the first-round game in the Conference Carolinas Tournament. The Flying Fleet got home runs from Ricky Dober, Mason McManus, Drew Potts and Carson Yates in the first two innings, but were unable to withstand the FMU comeback. Ethan McAnally had three singles and a homer for the Patriots, who play Belmont Abbey at 7 p.m. Friday. Zander Buchan, Adrian Nina and Riley Orr drove in runs each for FMU. Erskine faces an elimination game at 1 p.m. Friday against Mount Olive ... Brodie Genter's two-run single in the sixth inning put Bryan (26-24) ahead and the Lions pulled away from Spartanburg Methodist (26-23). Dario Astudillo and Lane Schrader had two hits and an RBI apiece for SMC. The Pioneers play regular-season champ Milligan in an elimination game at 9 a.m. Friday ... Edward Waters (30-19) scored five runs in the second inning to build a big lead and withstood a five-run ninth by Benedict (21-15) to win the opening game of the SIAC Tournament. Milton Herring drove in four runs and Cameron Haley added three for Benedict, which plays Albany State in an elimination game at 9 a.m. Friday. Herring's three-run double in the ninth pulled Benedict within a run, but he was stranded to end the game. The win pushed Edward Waters' winning streak to eight ... Bob Jones' regular-season finale doubleheader against Alice Lloyd was canceled. The Bruins will compete in the NCCAA South Regional next week.
