Softball Splits Spirited Twinbill With Davis & Elkins

PEMBROKE – The UNC Pembroke softball team amassed a combined 27 hits, including 17 in the nightcap alone, to power itself to a doubleheader split with visiting Davis & Elkins on Saturday afternoon at the UNCP Softball Field. The Braves got a career day from right-hander Madison Dyson to post a 7-1 win in the opener, but had its late-inning rally stopped short in a 14-13 setback in game two.
 
The Braves (5-12) have now picked up four of their five wins this season in their home stadium, and head into Sunday's tilts with Catawba having split each of their last two doubleheaders. The game-two win snapped a two-game skid for the Senators (3-11) who have yet to play a home game in 2023.
 
Dyson (2-6) struck out 12 batters, including nine-straight in the first, second and third innings, to pick up her second win of the season in Saturday's opener. She also struck out five in three innings of relief in the second game.

RECORDS UNC Pembroke 5-12; Davis & Elkins 3-11
KEY INNINGS (GAME 1)
TOP 1 Davis & Elkins manufactured a run to take a lead in the opening frame. Anjolina Gutierrez climbed aboard via a leadoff single, moved into scoring position via a stolen base and then scored on two wild pitches by the Black & Gold.
BOT 1 The Braves stormed ahead in a hurry as Makenna Sibbett drew a one-out walk, and Samantha Allred launched a ball deep and over the fence in centerfield with the ensuing at-bat. Olivia Hall and Lauren Hilbourn followed with singles to set the table for a RBI single from Emily Rose, and UNCP pushed its lead out to 4-1 on a costly passed ball. Conner Brisson's RBI single would cap the big inning.
KEY INNINGS (GAME 2)
TOP 3 Davis & Elkins used six hits and a pair of walks to tack up six runs in the third that would give it the lead for good. The Senators got RBI at-bats from five different players in the frame, including a bases-loaded bean ball that grazed the outside hip of Sharon Morales to force a runner home.
BOT 7 Staring in the face of a 14-8 deficit, UNCP rallied for five runs with two outs showing on the right field scoreboard. Marijo Wilkes hit a 3-run bomb to whittle the deficit down to three runs, while Makenna Sibbett registered a RBI triple two batters later and Samantha Allred pulled the hosts to within one on a RBI single to centerfield. Reliever Saylor Kneeland, however, induced a game-ending groundout moments later to secure the win for the visitors.
