Baseball Splits Twinbill, Takes Series Against #23 Barton

PEMBROKE – UNC Pembroke got yet another quality start from Jonathon Jacobs, this time of the complete game variety en route to a 7-1 win in Game 1 of the doubleheader, but couldn't complete the sweep, falling 8-2 in the series finale in Conference Carolinas action against 23rd-ranked Barton on Saturday at Sammy Cox Field.

Jacobs allowed just five hits and one unearned run on the way to moving to 5-0 on the season, out-dueling reigning Conference Carolinas Pitcher of the Year, Tanner Halvorson, in the process, while Joey Rezek blasted his team-leading 13th home run of the season in the Game 1 victory.
 
UNCP (28-10, 12-9 CC) picked up their second series win in as many tries over a ranked opponent with the split against #23 Barton (29-9, 12-9 CC), to go along with a series win over then-#2 North Greenville.

The Braves will hit the road for a season-long eight-game road swing starting Tuesday, April 9, as they travel to region rival Wingate for a non-conference matchup. First pitch is set for 6 p.m.
