Softball Rallies, Splits Series With Belmont Abbey

PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke softball team used dominate pitching and timely hitting on the way to a split of the doubleheader with Belmont Abbey on Saturday at the UNCP Softball Field. Belmont Abbey used a big fourth inning and a pair of insurance runs in the seventh innings to take the opening contest 6-4. However, the Braves rallied from an 11-0 deficit in the back half of the doubleheader fueled by 21 hits and a seven-run fifth inning to capture the second game 15-14 in eight innings. 
 
UNCP registered eight doubles across the two games, six of which were in game two of the series. For the second consecutive outing, Madison Dyson went the distance with a complete game and struck out nine batters.
 
After Saturday's series split, the Braves (10-17, 3-1 CC) improve to 5-1 when playing at home against Belmont Abbey. The Crusaders (7-13, 2-2 CC) fall to 4-10 when playing on the road this season.
