No. 24 Baseball Splits Twinbill At Mount Olive

MOUNT OLIVE – Home-standing Mount Olive plated a trio of runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to register a 4-2 comeback victory in the series opener, but the 24th-ranked UNC Pembroke baseball team rallied behind the strong right arm freshman Evan McLean in the nightcap to tack up a 7-2 triumph and forge a doubleheader split on Friday evening at Scarborough Field.
 
The game-two victory for the Braves (28-12, 17-6 CC) snapped a four-game series losing streak, and gave the Black & Gold its first win over the Trojans since an extra-inning home win on April 16, 2003. The setback snapped a three-game win streak for Mount Olive (23-16, 12-11) who fell to 16-6 at home this season with the result as well.

BOT 4 Vito Patierno laced Darren Bowen's first offering of the fourth into left field, and registered an inside-the-park home run after a crash into the outfield wall left Bobby Dixon discombobulated.
BOT 8 Jalen Jenkins drew a 5-pitch walk to start the bottom of the eighth, stole second and knotted the score back up on a RBI single from Jack Casbarro. Casbarro moved into scoring position on a stolen base and eventually crossed with the go-ahead run via a costly wild pitch. Gordon Pihl's 2-out double later in the frame put the final run of the game on the board.
