King Spoils Softball’s Conference Opener

PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke softball team stranded 23 runners on base and only recorded 12 hits across two games as they dropped their Conference Carolinas opener to King on Friday afternoon at the UNCP Softball Field. The Tornado used a three-run inning in game one to steal a 3-2 victory, and then secured the sweep with a 9-2 victory in the back half of the doubleheader. 

The setback for Braves (11-7, 0-2 CC) marked the first time the team has been swept in their conference opener since the 2019 season. The Tornado (18-8, 0-2 CC) have now won their last three contests.
