Baseball Strikes Early, Overpowers USC Aiken

PEMBROKE – Senior Bobby Dixon doubled, homered and drove in three runs to lead a 10-hit attack for the UNC Pembroke baseball team as the Braves struck early and often on the way to an 12-2 victory over visiting USC Aiken on Tuesday afternoon at Sammy Cox Field.

It was the fifth-straight win for the Braves (33-13) who used Tuesday's result to officially claim the four-game season-long series with the Pacers that started with a combined no-hitter by Trystan Kimmel and Darren Bowen on opening day. It was the third-straight loss for USC Aiken (19-25) who claimed a 5-3 triumph over the Black & Gold – their only win of the season series – on February 6 in Pembroke.

Four pitchers saw action a pre-determined rotation for the Braves, with everyday third baseman Trent Harris (1-0) emerging with the win after striking out four and allowing just two hits in 2-1/3 innings of work.
