Baseball Keeps Train Rolling, Downs USC Aiken

AIKEN, S.C. – The UNC Pembroke baseball team plated at least one run in four different innings behind an effective performance from its five-armed pitching staff, and the Braves pushed their win streak out to three games with a 6-2 victory at USC Aiken on Wednesday.
 
The result put the lid on a successful four-win road trip for the Black & Gold (10-5) who has now captured consecutive road wins in the series with the Pacers. It was the sixth loss in the last eight outings for USC Aiken (6-8) who will make a return trip to Pembroke to face the Braves on March 16.

KEY INNINGS
TOP 3 Ethan Ott hammered a two-strike offering from USC Aiken starter Jacob Fletcher deep over the fence in right field to give the Braves an early edge.
TOP 4 Christian Jayne led off the frame with a double to the gap in right field. An ensuing sacrifice bunt attempt by Trent Harris turned golden for UNCP as Jayne scampered across home plate following a throwing error.
TOP 6 Bobby Dixon absorbed a bean ball to lead off the inning, and the visitors put a pair of runners into scoring position two batters later via a one-out double from Trent Harris. Spencer Faulkner's RBI single padded the lead out to three runs, but the Braves added another score in the frame on a successful double steal attempt.
