No. 22 Baseball Powers Past Coker

PEMBROKE – The 22nd-ranked UNC Pembroke baseball team registered a double-digit hit total for the ninth time in the last 10 games, and broke open an otherwise close game with nine runs in the sixth inning to fuel a 14-5 win over visiting Coker on Wednesday evening at Sammy Cox Field.
 
It was the 15th win in the last 18 outings for the Braves (22-8) who made their season debut in the national rankings earlier Wednesday. The rout marked the second-straight loss for the Cobras (12-21) who posted a 10-9 home win over the Black & Gold in mid-February.

KEY INNINGS
BOT 2 The Braves took a lead they would not relinquish with a pair of runs in the bottom of the second. Trent Harris registered a leadoff single to get things going for the hosts, and Andrew Mills followed with a run-scoring double to the gap in left field. Garrett Littleton's sacrifice fly two batters later gave UNCP a 2-0 advantage.
BOT 6 UNCP sent 14 batters to the plate in a 5-hit, 9-run sixth inning to produce all the scoring it would need. The Braves scored seven runs with two outs showing on the right field scoreboard, and got home runs from both Blake Hinson and Wellington Guzman in the process as well.
