Harris, No. 18 Baseball Rally Past Barton In Series Opener

WILSON – Redshirt junior Trent Harris hit a game-tying homer in the ninth inning and a go-ahead RBI single in the 10th,  and then closed out action on the mound to help lead the 18th-ranked UNC Pembroke baseball team to a 9-8 win over Barton in Friday's series opener at Nixon Field.
 
It was the seventh-straight win for the Braves (34-10, 17-7 CC) who have now captured 11 of their last 13 outings, including three of their last four road matchups. Barton (23-18, 15-10) has now dropped four of its last six contests, and has now lost consecutive home outings for the first time since early February.
 
Harris (6-2) allowed just two baserunners in two scoreless innings of relief to grab his sixth victory of the season from the hill. Newcomer David Warth also worked a scoreless eighth innings, but was not awarded a decision.

KEY INNINGS
BOT 6 Raymond Paniagua climbed aboard via a leadoff bean ball, and Ryan McIsaac drew a 2-out walk, to put a pair of runners aboard for the Bulldogs and set the table for a go-ahead homer off of the bat of Jared Beebe.
BOT 7 James Holladay led off the home half of the seventh with a double, moved to third on an ensuing sacrifice bunt from Salvatore Laimo and eventually pushed Barton's lead out to 8-5 when he scampered home on Raymond Paniagua's safety squeeze bunt.
TOP 9 The Braves pushed across a run in the eighth to climb to within two scores, and then knotted the game up in the ninth. Michael Kocen drew a 1-out walk to get the rally started, and Trent Harris finished it off with a game-tying homer over the scoreboard in left field.
TOP 10 Ethan Ott (walk) and Kody O'Connor (single) both reached base safely to start extra frames, and Trent Harris eventually gave the Braves the lead on a 2-out bloop RBI single to right field.
