Coker's walkoff gives UNCP win

UNCP (20-10, 3-7 PBC) split a Peach Belt Conference doubleheader with North Georgia on Saturday by scores of 7-5 and 2-1 (10 innings). Jason Coker won the first game for the Braves with a two-run walkoff homerun after Seth Kivett's RBI single to right a batter earlier tied the game at five.

The Braves managed just four hits in the second game as the Saints evened the series at one apiece with a single run in the top of the 10th off Braves closer Ryan Kirkman. Coach Paul O'Neil had this to say about Saturday's action: "Our team lacks intensity in the second game of doubleheaders. For whatever reason, I guys never want to win game two. We need to come out with more intensity, but we're just not hungry enough yet to be successful in the Peach Belt Conference.
