Baseball Takes Opening Day Doubleheader Sweep Over Tusculum

PEMBROKE – UNC Pembroke used a late-game rally to take Game 1 of the doubleheader 6-4, and a JD Scarbrough walk-off hit by pitch to take a 6-5 extra-innings win in Game 2 to complete the sweep Friday at Sammy Cox Field.

Daniel Stephens led the way offensively, turning in a 2-5 showing with three RBI in the opener, while going 3-4 with an RBI in the nightcap. Tyler Steele and Landon Lucas each added solo homers in Game 2, as well. 

The Braves (2-0) moved to 2-1 in the all-time series with the Pioneers (0-2), as the two squads met for the first time since the 2000 season.

UNCP will be back in action Friday, February 6 as they host Salem for a three-game set. Friday's first pitch is set for 3 p.m.

BOT 8 After a Daniel Stephens RBI single tied the game at 4-4 in the home half of the seventh, Stephens struck again an inning later with a two-out, go-ahead two-run double to make it 6-4.
KEY INNINGS (GAME 2)
BOT 3 Tusculum struck first again with an unearned run in the top of the third, but Steele quickly knotted the score with a solo blast in the bottom half to make it 1-1.
BOT 4 The Pioneers reclaimed the lead in its half of the fourth, but the Braves once again answered with a game-tying solo home run, this time from Landon Lucas to make it 2-2.
BOT 5 An error, a wild pitch, and a Stephens RBI single would bring home three runs in the frame to give the Black & Gold a 5-2 lead.
TOP 7 A hit, four walks, and a sac fly would be enough for Tusculum to tie the score at 5-5.
BOT 8 Peyton Young led off the frame with a single and moved up 90 feet on Padgett's sac bunt.
