AIKEN, S.C. – Morgan Hyde's two-run single in the second led to a six-run frame and help lead USC Aiken to an 8-1 win over Flagler College in a Peach Belt Conference baseball game Friday night at Roberto Hernandez Stadium.
USC Aiken improved to 7-9 overall and in the Peach Belt. Flagler is now 5-13 overall and 4-8 in conference play.
Jackson Hannan and Nick Tripp followed with run-scoring singles in the second for the Pacers.

Hyde went 3-for-5 with a run scored and three runs batted in for USC Aiken. Hannon and Tripp each went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a run batted in.
Tyler Keith went 2-for-3 with a double and he scored Flagler's lone run.
