Baseball Drops Midweek Contest At Coker

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The UNC Pembroke baseball team rallied back from a three-run deficit in the first inning to take a third-inning lead, but home-standing Coker plated five runs in the seventh and held back a last-gasp rally to slip by the Braves, 10-9, on Wednesday afternoon at Tom J. New Field.
 
It was the second-straight loss for the Braves (3-3) who have now lost two-straight in the series with the Cobras as well. Coker picked up its second consecutive win with the result, while also evening up its home record at 2-2.

KEY INNINGS
BOT 1 Coker put a pair of runners into scoring position with its first three at-bats of the afternoon, and took a quick lead after a two-run triple from Brady Jeffcoat. Kody Hanna's RBI single moments later stretched the lead out to three runs.
TOP 3 Ethan Ott's two-run double with one gone in the third brought the Braves to within a run, and Bobby Dixon hit a moon shot two at-bats later to help the visitors storm ahead.
BOT 7 Down 6-5 to start the frame, Coker mustered just one hit in the seventh, but used four walks and a costly error to push across five runs and take the lead for good. Phil Griffor's three-run single with two outs showing broke a 7-7 tie.
