Braves use three three-run innings to out-slug Saints, 10-7

PEMBROKE, N.C. – A two-run single by Nick Salisbury in the fourth inning broke open a 3-all tie and helped the University of North Carolina Pembroke out-slug Flagler College 10-7 in a Peach Belt Conference baseball game Saturday afternoon at Sammy Cox Field.

UNC Pembroke improved to 12-4 overall and 3-2 in the Peach Belt. Flagler fell to 7-9 overall and 2-6 in conference play.

After a Stibel Aleman Saba three-run home run in the third inning staked the Braves to a 3-0 lead, the Saints answered with three runs of its own in the fourth to tie the score. Frankie Sagarese hit a two-run single and later scored on a RBI-single by Bryce Evans.

But the Braves countered with another three-run inning in the fourth with Salisbury's two-run single and that was followed by an RBI-single by Roberto Rivera which chased Flagler starter Dustin Dye (1-3) from the game.

Hayden Buffkin belted a solo homer in the fifth inning to give UNCP a 7-3 lead.

Cole Odrejka hit a two-run single in the sixth to close the deficit to 7-5, but the Braves answered with three more runs in the home half of the sixth to jump out to a 10-5 advantage.

Rivera paced the 14-hit attack by the Braves with three singles, two runs batted in and two runs scored. Nick Debo singled twice and scored two runs while C.J. White collected a pair of singles and scored a run. Salisbury, the ninth hitter in the order, had two singles, two RBI and scored a run.

UNCP hit 11 singles in the game.

Lane Johnson (2-1) pitched five-plus innings, scattered 10 hits and allowed three runs. Alex Britt earned his third save of the season after pitching a scoreless 1.1 innings with three strikeouts.

The Saints pounded out 16 hits, 12 of which were singles, and they stranded 12 base runners.
