Satcher Field.  With the two wins, the Pacers reached the 30-win plateau for the third-straight season under head coach Kenny Thomas, the first time USCA has accomplished that feat since 1994-96.  

Clint Keown had a career day playing in his final games this weekend in a Pacer uniform.  The 6-2 senior from Evansville, IN combined to steal six bases, score six runs, and drive in one more going 6-for-10 at the plate.  In addition, Keown had an unofficial record of three outfield assists in game one and one more in the nightcap.  Three of the four assists were Keown throwing out runners trying to score.  

With the six steals on the day, Keown became the first player in PBC history to steal 50 bases in one season.  Already the school single season and career record holder, Keown passed JuJu
Foreman of Augusta State for the single season record (49) and Francis Marion's Brad Beatson's career mark (84).  Keown now has 51 stolen bases this season and 86 in his career.  

In game one, the Pacers tied a season-best with 21 hits in plating 16 runs to cruise to the 16-4 win.

Ashley Farr had a two-RBI single to cap a five-run third inning that ballooned the lead to 11-2.  Farr was 3-for-5 with four RBI.  Casey Calhoun also had a big game at the plate going 4-for-5 while Justin Williams was 2-for-4 and Leroy Walker was 3-for-3.  Mike Rosswas 1-for-3 but scored three runs.  As a team, every Pacer in the lineup had a hit by the middle of the third inning.
