Box Score NORFOLK, Va. – Keith Zuniga allowed just four hits in seven innings and Shaun McCarty drove in three runs to lead MEAC Southern Division top seed Bethune-Cookman to a 10-2 win over MEAC North No. 2 seed Norfolk State in a winner's bracket game of the 2014 MEAC Baseball Championship on Thursday at Marty L. Miller Field.

The Spartans (20-25) drop into the losers' bracket, where they will again face North Carolina Central at 10 a.m. Friday in an elimination game. The Spartans topped NCCU 6-1 in the first round of the tournament on Wednesday.

Zuniga (7-4) struck out four and allowed just one run. His offense also staked him to a big lead, scoring six times in the first three innings to take control. After a double, a walk and an error loaded the bases in the bottom of the second inning, McCarty lined a shot into a strong breeze blowing out toward right. Spartan outfielder Cameron Day misjudged it and McCarty's hit rolled all the way to the wall for a three-run triple. Zach Olszewski drove in McCarty with a sacrifice fly to make it 4-0.

Austin Garcia's RBI single and a sacrifice fly by Eros Modena extended the lead to 6-0 in the third. The Wildcats tacked on another in the fourth, two in the sixth and one in the seventh to complete their scoring.

NSU scored its first run in the sixth. Zach Markel walked and after a single by Day, scored on Ross Cardwell's groundout. The Spartans' other tally came in the eighth when Cody Ellis reached first on catcher's interference with the bases loaded. Markel, Day, Cardwell and Ellis had the four hits for NSU.

McCarty, Modena, Matt Noble and Josh Johnson had two hits apiece for the Wildcats (24-31), who are off Friday before playing either Florida A&M or Savannah State in the winner's bracket final on Saturday.

Stephen Butt (3-3) took the loss for the Spartans, allowing seven hits and nine runs (seven earned) in five-plus innings.
