Competing in the fi rst offi cial game in the College's baseball history, the Yetis took home a win after defeat- ing Surry Community College 12-2 in their sea- son opener on January 30 in Dobson, NC. Kyras Dawson (Washington, D.C.) and Jan- niel Berroa (Miami, FL) led the way with three hits each to pace the Yetis offense. In the fi rst inning, Dawson produced the fi rst hit in pro- gram history, which was followed by Berroa's three-run homerun, the fi rst homer in pro- gram history. The homerun scored both Mi- chael Greene (Shelby, NC) and Dawson, with Greene scoring the fi rst run in program history after leading off the inning and being hit by a pitch. Starting pitcher Bailey McGinnis (Rutherford- ton, NC) recorded the fi rst strikeout in program history. McGinnis would go four complete in- nings, giving up only three hits while striking out fi ve batters. Nate Roof (Lexington, SC) fol- lowed on the mound for three innings, with no earned runs, four strikeouts and earning the fi rst win in program history. "It's always great to get that fi rst win under your belt," said Head Coach Gene Bowles. "The hard work put in during the fall by our players and coaching staff paid off." Following two tough losses on the road at #20 (DI) Florence-Darlington Tech on February 6, a February 7 double header at USC Sumter was postponed due to wet fi eld conditions. The NJCAA Division II Yetis once again took the fi eld at #20 Florence-Darlington for a mid- week game on Wednesday, February 10. The Yetis jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the fi rst inning but were down 9-1 to the Stingers by the fi fth inning. The Yetis, however, stormed back over the next four innings, taking the lead and hold- ing on for an 11-9 victory. "I can't say enough about the fi ght that our guys showed today," said Bowles. "To be down eight runs to a ranked Division I program and come back, I couldn't be prouder. This is a huge win for our fi rst-year program." Right Fielder Kyras Dawson and Catcher Zachary Wilson (Lawndale, NC) led the way with 3 hits including a double and triple each. Blake Decker's (John's Creek, GA) leadoff home run would tie the game in the top of the 9th inning as the Yetis would take the lead heading to the bottom half. Avery Bridges (Polkville, NC), pitching in re- lief would be credited with the win. Graham Brown (Harrisburg, NC), fi nishing out the 9th inning would gain the save, the fi rst save in program history. Submitted by Paula B.
