Big Innings Glaring As No. 16 Baseball Splits At Southern Wesleyan

CENTRAL, S.C. – Big innings from both sides of the diamond proved to be advantageous on Saturday afternoon as the 16th-ranked UNC Pembroke baseball team split a series-opening doubleheader at Southern Wesleyan. The Warriors used a 7-run third inning to fuel a 17-15 win in the opener, while the Braves tacked up 13 runs in the fourth inning of the nightcap to key a 19-3 triumph.
 
The opening-game setback snapped a six-game win streak for the Braves (20-5, 9-2 CC), but the Black & Gold managed to register its seventh road win of the season with the game-two result. Southern Wesleyan (11-14, 6-5) is now 9-4 in home games this season with Saturday's outcomes.
 
Trent Harris (4-1) saddled his first loss of the season after allowing five hits and six earned runs in 2-2/3 innings of work in the opener. Branden Kunz (4-1) registered his fourth win from the hill this season with five innings of work in the nightcap in which he surrendered three earned runs and struck out a trio of Warriors.

KEY INNINGS (GAME 1)
BOT 3 Down 2-1 after the top half of the third, Southern Wesleyan took the lead for good with seven runs in the home half of the frame, including a pair of unearned scores. The Warriors tallied just four hits in the frame, but also drew three walks to aid the scoring outburst as well. Cam Mitchem drove in a pair of runs for the hosts in the inning via a double to centerfield.
KEY INNINGS (GAME 2)
TOP 4 Carlos Amezquita (double) and Christian Jayne (single) drove in runs on consecutive 2-out hits to give the Braves a 4-2 lead, but a costly error by the SWU infield two batters later opened the flood gates for nine unearned runs that all but put the game on ice for the visitors. Will Hood (single) and Joey Rezek (double) followed with consecutive 2-run hits, while Amezquita and Jayne both cashed in again later in the inning on consecutive 2-run singles.
