Erskine Powers Past No. 19/20 Baseball In Series Opener

PEMBROKE – The 19th-ranked UNC Pembroke baseball team offset an early 1-0 deficit on Joey Rezek's game-tying double in the bottom of the sixth inning, but Erskine answered with nine-straight runs, including seven off of home runs, to top the Braves, 10-3, in Friday's series opener at Sammy Cox Field.
 
The setback snapped a 9-game home win streak for the Braves (24-9, 10-6 CC) who have now dropped three of the last five matchups with the Flying Fleet. Erskine (19-12, 9-9) has now captured four of its last five outings, and raked in its 11th road win of the season with Friday's result as well.
