PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke baseball team registered 17 hits, including 10 of the extra-base variety, and got another quality start from freshman Evan McLean to finish off a weekend sweep of visiting Chowan with an 18-0 rout of the Hawks on Sunday afternoon at Sammy Cox Field.
 
It was the fourth series sweep of the season for the Braves (19-6, 11-1 CC) who improved to 11-2 at Sammy Cox Field with Sunday's triumph as well. The Hawks (5-18, 0-12) have now dropped 10-straight games, and walked away from Pembroke still searching for their first Conference Carolinas win of the 2022 campaign.
