BRISTOL, Tenn. — UNC Pembroke put up crooked numbers in six different innings, and pounded out 15 extra-base hits on the way to a 24-11 victory and series win over King in Sunday’s rubber match of a Conference Carolinas series.

Donathan wasted no time in the sixth, depositing the first pitch of the inning over the wall in left center. Will Hood singled and came around to score on Faulkner’s double. Rezek added another RBI single, before O’Connor tacked on another run via sacrifice fly to make it 16-4 Braves.

Dolberry added his second long ball of the day to lead off the eighth frame, while O’Connor got in on the action with a two-run blast. Donathan provided the 20th UNCP run with an RBI groundout to make it 20-10.
