AIKEN, S.C. – The University of South Carolina Aiken baseball team lost an 10-4 contest to Newberry Tuesday evening.

The Pacers are now 26-16 on the season while the Wolves improve to 24-20.

Head coach Kenny Thomas' team jumped on top with a run in the bottom of the first. With one away, Daulton Weeks singled to left field. He promptly swiped second and hustled to third on an errant throw by the catcher. Brian Parreira managed to chop a pitch to the shortstop for an infield single, allowing Weeks to race home for a 1-0 edge.

The Wolves tied the contest in the third and took a 4-1 lead with three runs in the fourth. However, USC Aiken battled back, scoring two in the bottom of the stanza.

Philip Watcher reached on an error by the second baseman and scampered to third on a single by Chandler Rogers. A walk to Jose Bonilla loaded the bags. A passed ball made it 4-2 as everyone moved up a base. Weeks lifted a fly ball to left field that was deep enough to score Rogers, making it a 4-3 contest.

The visitors scored four in the fifth, pushing the margin to five at 8-3.

Trailing 10-3 in the seventh, USC Aiken pushed across a run when Conner Durden reached on a fielder's choice. Parreira, who was hit by a pitch earlier in the frame, crossed home plate for a 10-4 score.
