Baseball No-Hits USC Aiken On Opening Day

AIKEN, S.C. – Newcomer Trystan Kimmel and closer Darren Bowen combined to give the UNC Pembroke baseball program its first no-hitter in 13 seasons, and the Braves pushed across a pair of runs in the third to post a 2-0 season-opening victory at USC Aiken on Saturday afternoon.

The no-no was the first for the Braves (1-0) since right-handed Jake Dailey shut down Millersville across a 7-inning no-hitter on Feb. 14, 2009. It is the first 9-inning no-hitter for the Black & Gold since Justin Yow and Ryan Kirkman partnered to shut down Coker on Feb. 8, 2008.

Saturday's triumph marked the 16^th-consecutive season that UNCP has captured its season opener. The loss snapped a two-game series win streak for the Pacers (0-1) as well.
