Braves Walk Off Barton In Game 1 Win

PEMBROKE – UNC Pembroke scored one in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game, and walked it off on Ashton Donathan's sac fly in the 10th to take Game 1 of the series 6-5 over the 23rd-ranked Barton Bulldogs in Conference Carolinas action Friday night at Sammy Cox Field.

The Braves got an excellent relief outing from Chase Jernigan, who kept the Bulldogs at bay to allow the Braves offense to mount the late comeback.

The Braves (27-9, 11-8 CC) improved to 19-3 when playing at home this season, while snapping Barton's (28-8, 11-8 CC) four-game winning streak in the process.

The two squads will wrap up the series Saturday with a doubleheader. First pitch is set for 2 p.m.
