May 28—TIGERVILLE, S.C. — Second-seeded and 11th-ranked Mount Olive used a costly one-out throwing error to plate four unearned runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, and the Trojans shook off an early 4-0 deficit to shock the 26th-ranked UNC Pembroke baseball team, 7-6, in opening-round action of the NCAA Southeast Regional on Thursday afternoon.
The setback moves the Braves (29-14) into elimination-game territory on Friday where they will face Columbus State, who lost to top-seeded Catawba on Thursday. The start time for that contest has been slated for 11 a.m. at North Greenville's Dillard Field.
