Baseball Rumbles Past Georgia College In Series Opener

PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke baseball team sent a dozen batters to the plate amid a 9-run third inning and got base hits from 10 different players on the way to a 20-5 victory over Georgia College in the series opener on Friday evening at Sammy Cox Field.
 
It was the eighth win in the last 11 outings for the Braves (15-12, 5-8 PBC) who tacked up their most runs against a Peach Belt Conference foe since a 24-9 victory over Lander on April 18, 2015. It was the third-straight loss for the Bobcats (13-12, 7-7) who had their five-game win streak in the series with the Black & Gold snapped as well.

KEY INNINGS
BOT 3 Luke Jackson reached via a costly fielding error to open the frame, and then opened the flood gates for the Braves who scored nine runs on six hits in the frame. Connor Grainger hit a two-run single to give the Braves the lead for good, and Trevor Clemons hit a 3-run homer to cap the scoring in the inning.
TOP 4 Jay Saunders climbed aboard via a one-out double, and later scored on a wild pitch from UNCP starter Nile Ball.
BOT 5 Jarratt Mobley singled to lead off the frame, and Bobby Dixon stretched the lead out to 11-1 by hammering a full-count offering over the trees in left field. Luke Jackson made it a 12-1 game on a RBI double two batters later, and the Braves took a 12-run lead into the sixth on the shoulders of a fielding error by the Bobcats.
BOT 6 Elijah Helton and River Ryan both singled to lead off the frame, and both moved into scoring position two pitches later on an ill-timed balk. Jarratt Mobley stretched the lead out to 14-1 on a sacrifice fly to right field, and Bobby Dixon capped the scoring in the frame with a one-out single to left field that plated Ryan.
TOP 7 Georgia College got consecutive one-out singles, and then loaded the bases via a hit by pitch two batters later. Will Hudgins bases-clearing double with two outs showing helped the visitors cut their deficit back to 11 runs, 15-4.
BOT 7 Ethan Baucom tacked up his first hit of the night on a RBI double that scored Trevor Clemons all the way from first base, Elijah Helton hit a two-out RBI single to right field and Jarratt Mobley padded the advantage out to 15 runs on a two-run double to the gap in right field.
BOT 8 Kevon Perkins became the 10th UNCP player to register a hit on the night when he belted a pinch-hit RBI single into left field to score Zach Ghelfi from second base.
