Braves Fly Past Fleet 10-2 In Game 1 Win

DUE WEST, S.C. – UNC Pembroke pounded out 17 hits, and used a solid start from HL Smith and an excellent relief outing from Luke Barrow on the way to a 10-2 victory over Erskine in Game 1 of the series Friday afternoon at Grier Field.

Smith allowed just four hits and one run in his four inning stint, while Barrow went the final five, allowing just a run to go along with eight punchouts and no walks.

Joey Rezek finished a triple shy of a cycle on his way to pacing the Braves offense.

The Braves (23-9, 8-8 CC) improved to 8-4 all-time against the Flying Fleet (16-15, 8-7 CC). The 17 hits were the most for the Black & Gold since recording 19 in the March 5 win over Glenville State.

The two squads will wrap up the series Saturday with a doubleheader. First pitch is set for 11 a.m.
