Softball Sweeps Fayetteville State In Non-Conference Twinbill

PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke softball team needed extra innings in the opening contest and registered 13 hits in the second game to secure a sweep of visiting Fayetteville State on Saturday afternoon at the UNCP Softball Field. UNCP trailed for the entire part of the opening contest, but a seventh-inning rally proved the be the spark for the victory. Seven of the 13 hits for the Black & Gold in the second game were for extra bases, including a home run from Samantha Allred. 
 
The two victories for the Braves (7-14) marked the first doubleheader sweep of the season. The Broncos (3-12) have now lost the last 19 meetings against UNCP, and fall to 0-6 when playing on the road.
