Baseball Drops Both Ends Of Doubleheader At Mount Olive

MOUNT OLIVE – The 21st-ranked UNC Pembroke baseball team took an 8-4 lead into the bottom of the 9th in Game 1 of the doubleheader, but couldn't close it out en route to a Mount Olive 9-8 walk-off win, and then were on the wrong end of a no-hitter in Game 2, falling 11-0 in the nightcap.

Mount Olive would score five runs, four with two outs, including three consecutive hit by pitches to take the victory in the opener. In Game 2, Ethan Imbimbo threw the first no-hitter against UNC Pembroke since Francis Marion's Dylan Owen performed the feat during the 2005 season.
 
The Trojans (20-8, 11-3 CC) doubleheader sweep dropped the Braves (21-8, 7-7 CC) to 18-32 in the all-time series against Mount Olive.

The two squads will finish off the series Sunday, March 24, as inclement weather is expected to roll through the area the next two days. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.
