Feb. 8—AIKEN, S.C. — When an error and two hit batsmen loaded the bases with one out in the fourth inning of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke's baseball season opener Saturday, Braves pitcher Trystan Kimmel found himself in a jam, despite having not allowed a hit in that inning, or the game, to that point.
"I knew right then, it was compete or we were going to lose that game," Kimmel said. "I just went out there and did my stuff."
Kimmel used a strikeout and a groundout to escape the jam and got six additional outs before reliever Darren Bowen got nine more — completing the Braves' first no-hitter in 13 years in a 2-0 win.
