Flagler Rallies Back From Two Deficits, Tops Baseball In 10th

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – Bobby Dixon and Zach Ghelfi each hit home runs to give the UNC Pembroke baseball team a 5-3 lead in the seventh, but Peach Belt Conference-leading Flagler rallied for a pair of runs in the eighth and used a wild pitch to push across the winning run in the 10th on the way to a series-clinching 6-5 victory over the Braves on Saturday evening.
 
It was the third-straight loss for the Braves (19-25, 9-17 PBC) who fell to 3-11 in games decided by two runs or less this season, including a 2-10 mark in 1-run contests. The Saints (27-17, 18-8) pushed their win streak out to 11 games, and picked up their first series victory over the Black & Gold since 2015.

KEY INNINGS
TOP 5 Jarratt Mobley laced a one-out double to the gap in left field, advanced to third on a single from Zach Ghelfi in the ensuing at-bat and scored on a suicide squeeze bunt by Alex Simpson to give UNCP a 2-0 advantage.
BOT 5 Steven DiPuglia reached on a costly throwing error to start the home half of the fifth, and then stole second to put himself into scoring position. UNCP starter Brandon Winstead appeared to be on the way to getting out of the jam by striking out Franco Camacho, but Dillon Reed hit a full-count single up the middle to cut the deficit in half for the hosts.
BOT 6 Jason Moore reached on a fielding error to begin the bottom of the sixth, and Sean Lawlor gave Flagler its first lead of the contest when he hammered a two-strike offering over the fence in left field.
TOP 7 Bobby Dixon crushed a one-out solo homer to centerfield to knot the score back up. Jarratt Mobley drew a five-pitch walk in the next at-bat to set the table for a two-run homer from Zach Ghelfi that gave the lead back to the Braves.
BOT 8 Jason Moore hit a first-pitch double off of UNCP reliever Jordan Toney to start the home half of the eighth, and Connor Laspina hit a two-out home run later in the frame to tie the score up at five apiece.
BOT 10 The Saints loaded the bases with their first three at-bats in the extra frame, and scored the winning run on a wild pitch.
