UNCP Baseball opens 4-2 in Week 1

Black and Gold baseball is under way at Sammy Cox Field in Pembroke and the Braves are 4-2 through their first full week, including a doubleheader sweep of St. Andrews to open the 2009 schedule.

After winning four straight, the Braves have dropped back-to-back decisions to Anderson and Pfeiffer despite having the tying run at the plate in the bottom of the ninth in both contests.

Coach Paul O'Neil said he'll be able to really see where the team's at following this weekend's four-game set with Millersville. Right now, O'Neil is busy switching around the lineup and figuring out the starting rotation.

I will be covering most of UNCP's home games this season for The Robesonian and may go to a few away games as well. Look for game stories and features throughout the spring.

UNCP will play host to Millersville this weekend in a four-game series beginning Friday at 3pm. Saturday features a doubleheader with a 1pm first pitch and Sunday's noon start will finish the series.
