Wolfpack Loses 5-2 to New Hanover

Wolfpack Baseball on a Friday Night

Whiteville Wolfpack versus the New Hanover Wildcats: 03/04/22 

The Wolfpack were back in action last night versus New Hanover at Legion Stadium for their home opener of the 2022 season. The game did not end on the side of the Wolfpack as New Hanover took the game 5-2. The game was scoreless till the fourth inning when the Wildcats got the first run of the game on a passed ball that short-hopped Bud Baldwin at the plate, then a three run fifth inning, and an insurance run in the sixth inning for New Hanover. Sean Smith was the pitcher for New Hanover, and he kept the wildcats guessing and off base. When the Wildcats put in their closer in the seventh inning, Whiteville finally crossed the plate two times, but it was too little too late.
