Baseball Flips Script On Barton, Powers Past Bulldogs At Home

PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke baseball team clubbed five home runs and scored at least one run in six different frames on the way to a 20-6 victory over visiting Barton on Wednesday afternoon at Sammy Cox Field.
 
The result stretched the win streak out to seven games for UNCP (14-5) who has now tacked up 20 or more runs in three of its last four outings. It was the third loss in the last four outings for Barton (9-11) who used five homers to register an 8-7 victory over the Black & Gold on February 18 in Wilson.
 
Senior Ethan Baucom became the program's all-time home run with a 3-run shot in the third inning. It was the 47th career blast for the Rockingham native.

KEY INNINGS
TOP 2 Barton got singles in three of its first four at-bats, and eventually took its second lead of the contest on Noah Almond's RBI single to left field. Almond would eventually come around to score on an ill-timed throwing error by the Braves.
BOT 2 A dropped fly ball on the opening at-bat of the frame eventually lead to seven unearned runs by the hosts that gave them the lead for good. Trevor Clemons gave the Braves a 5-4 lead on a 2-run single with two outs showing, and Alex Simpson crushed a grand slam to left field two at-bats later to finish off the frame.

UNCP LEADERS BC LEADERS
Trevor Clemons 4-4, HR, 3 RBI
Alex Simpson 3-5, GS, 6 RBI
Ethan Baucom 2-6, 3 RBI
