YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. | Nick Sexton's double to right field in the bottom of the eighth inning gave Young Harris College a 4-3 Peach Belt Conference baseball victory over the University of North Carolina at Pembroke Friday (March 25) evening at Zell B. Miller Field.

The Mountain Lions improved to 10-17 overall and to 5-11 in the Peach Belt while the Braves fell to 20-9 and 7-6. The teams wrap up their weekend series with a 1 p.m. doubleheader Saturday (March 26).

The Mountain Lions made the most of their four hits off UNC Pembroke pitcher Jesse Stinnett (5-1), who struck out eight in eight innings.

A two-run homer to left field in the bottom of the second by Troy Kizer gave the Mountain Lions a 2-1 lead. It was Kizer's second home run of the 2016 campaign. Zach Beggs drew a two-out walk in front of the homer.

Beggs led off the bottom of the fifth with his team-leading sixth long ball to right-center field to give the Mountain Lions a 3-2 lead.

It would stay that what until the eighth inning when the Braves tied the game at 3 on an unearned run that was driven in by Drew Beaver's single to left field. Beaver led UNC Pembroke with three hits.

Zach Odom, who had a single in the first inning to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, led off the winning rally with a one-out walk. Odom moved to second on a Stinnett wild pitch and came around to score on Sexton's 11th double of the season.

Cody Beck (2-3) picked up the win with 2 2/3 innings of relief for the Mountain Lions. Beck surrendered two hits and struck out one while giving up an unearned run. YHC starter Michael Livingston scattered nine hits and struck out six in 6 1/3 innings.
