Baseball Routs Queens To Give O’Neil 700th Win

PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke baseball team pounded out 12 hits and tacked up a trio of multi-run innings, and the Braves gave head coach Paul O'Neil his 700th career coaching victory with a 13-3 rout of visiting Queens on Tuesday evening at Sammy Cox Field.
 
The result helped the Braves (3-1) get on the board in the series with Queens (0-4) who captured both ends of the home-and-home series with the Black & Gold last season. Tuesday's contest marked the fourth leg of a season-opening eight-game home stand for UNCP.

KEY INNINGS
BOT 1 Queens starter Nick Nelson issued free passes to the first three batters of the frame, and Ethan Baucom's sacrifice fly to deep centerfield gave the hosts a lead they would not relinquish. Jarratt Mobley's RBI groundout pushed the lead out to a pair of runs.
BOT 3 UNCP loaded the bases with three consecutive one-out singles, and used a muffed throw at the plate to tack on a pair of runs. Wellington Guzman's two-run single two batters later gave the hosts a 6-0 advantage.
TOP 4 The Royals used two hits and a pair of costly errors by UNCP to cut their deficit in half. Noah Jones gave the visitors their first run of the game on a RBI single. An ill-timed error two batters later brought two more runs racing home.
BOT 5 The Braves put the game out of reach with six runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Garrett Littleton and Trevor Clemons both recorded RBI singles, and Ethan Baucom crushed a grand slam over the fence in left field.
