McLean, No. 21 Baseball Blank Wingate In Midweek Road Battle

WINGATE – The 21st-ranked UNC Pembroke baseball team scored three runs in the opening frame to give sophomore right-hander Evan McLean all of the run support he would need, and the Braves pushed their win streak out to six games with a 8-0 shutout of Wingate on Tuesday at Ron Christopher Stadium.
 
The Black & Gold (19-4) improved to 30-6 against their region under head coach Paul O'Neil with Tuesday's result, while also improving to 6-1 away from Pembroke this season as well. It was just the second loss in the last five outings for the Bulldogs (15-9) who have already registered 11 wins at home in 2023.
 
McLean (3-0) struck out eight batters and allowed just three hits across six scoreless innings to notch his third win from the hill this season. Rhett James surrendered just two hits across the seventh, eighth and ninth innings to register his first save of the campaign.
