Baseball Splits Twinbill With King

BRISTOL, TENN. – Visiting UNC Pembroke pounded out 15 hits and got excellent relief outings from Jake Inman and Luke Barrow to take Game 1 over King 9-4, but could only muster four hits in Game 2 of the doubleheader on the way to a 2-1 loss during Conference Carolinas action Saturday.

Joey Rezek hit his 15th and 16th home run in Game 1, while Inman came on with no outs in the 1st inning and went 5 innings of one-run ball, while Barrow went the final four scoreless, allowing just one hit to go along with five punch outs.

Jonathon Jacobs was saddled with the tough-luck loss in Game 2, going six innings, allowing just one earned run while striking out 10.
 
UNCP (33-12, 15-11 CC) dropped their first ever contest against King, moving to 8-1 all-time against the Tornado (14-27, 7-17 CC).

The two squads will meet again for the rubber match Sunday. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.
