The UNCP Braves' baseball team has won six consecutive games due in large part to senior Kevin Dietrich. Playing in his final few weeks in a Braves uniform, Dietrich is hitting .435 for the season and homered in three straight games. Depending on the Braves' success over the final three weekends in Peach Belt Conference play, Dietrich will definitely be a factor in Player of the Year talks.UNCP (28-13, 7-10 PBC) swept Georgia Southwestern over the weekend for their first series win in conference play. The Braves made it six wins in a row this week after winning a pair of mid-week battles with Chowan. UNCP is now 10-2 in mid-week affairs this season.
Matt McGovern, Bryan Willis and Jonathan Rivera will get the starts this weekend for the Braves as they travel to Lander for a pivotal three-game series. Lander is 8-8 in league play while UNCP is 7-10. Lander hold a one game lead over the Braves for seventh place in the Peach Belt. The top eight teams earn a trip to the conference tournament in May.
