No. 14 Baseball Takes Two From Barton On Opening Day

PEMBROKE – The 14th-ranked UNC Pembroke baseball team took advantage of a costly 2-out error and scored six unearned runs in the bottom of the first inning and cruised to a 17-2 victory over visiting Barton in the nightcap and complete a doubleheader sweep of the Bulldogs on Wednesday at Sammy Cox Field. The Braves topped the visitors, 8-2, in the front end of the twinbill.
 
The game-one victory was the 15th-straight season-opening win for the Black & Gold (2-0) who improved to 20-1 all-time in such contests under veteran head coach Paul O'Neil. The Bulldogs (0-2) have now dropped 10 of their last 12 games at Sammy Cox Field.
 
The series will conclude with a single game on Sunday in Wilson. First pitch of that contest is slated for 1 p.m. at Nixon Field.

KEY INNINGS (GAME 1)
TOP 2 Colby Warren got aboard via a one-out single, moved around to third on a seeing-eye single through the right side from Andres Machado, and scored on a costly wild pitch minutes later.
BOT 4 Garrett Littleton led off the home half of the fourth with a game-tying solo homer. Spencer Faulkner and Ethan Baucom collected back-to-back singles to set the stage for a 3-run dinger from Bobby Dixon that gave the hosts the lead for good.
KEY INNINGS (GAME 2)
BOT 1 Ethan Baucom reached via a leadoff single, and later scored with two outs after shortstop Andres Machado was unable to handle a hard hit ball from River Ryan. That opened the door for five more unearned runs, four of which came on a grand slam by Wellington Guzman.
BOT 5 UNCP pushed its lead out to 10-2 on newcomer Christian Jayne's RBI double with the second-at bat of the frame, but the Braves poured it on minutes later when three-straight batters tacked up RBI knocks to cap the 5-run inning.
