Exciting News from Aiken: USC Aiken’s Baseball Stars Shine Bright!

Hey there, baseball fans! There’s some exciting buzz coming from USC Aiken this week as two of their standout baseball players, Cade Bouknight and Brody Yeomans, racked up some impressive honors from the Peach Belt Conference. If you haven’t heard, these guys put on quite a show last week, which helped the team earn a flawless 4-0 record. Let’s dive into what the dynamic duo achieved!

Cade Bouknight: Pitcher Extraordinaire

First up, let’s talk about southpaw sensation Cade Bouknight. This talented sophomore from Batesburg-Leesville really stole the spotlight when he was named the PBC Pitcher of the Week for his phenomenal performance against Claflin. He took to the mound and pitched a whopping seven scoreless innings, making it look like a piece of cake. Bouknight struck out an impressive 13 batters while allowing just two hits, leading his team to a decisive 9-0 victory. How about that?

But wait, there’s more! Not only did he snag his first collegiate win with this dazzling performance, but he also surpassed his previous career high of five strikeouts in a single game. Talk about leveling up! Bouknight’s precision was on point, as he didn’t walk a single batter and faced only two over the minimum during his time on the mound. It’s safe to say he was in the zone!

Brody Yeomans: Freshman Phenom

Now let’s shine the light on Brody Yeomans, the freshman sensation from Hoboken, Georgia, who made quite the splash this past week as well. Honored as the PBC Freshman of the Week, Yeomans showcased his impressive skills in three games, boasting a solid batting average of 5-for-13. Among his stellar performances, he knocked out a towering home run in the game against Claflin on March 1, where he collected four RBIs and scored two runs himself. It seems he’s just getting started!

This young star kicked off the week with a solid 1-for-3 outing against Francis Marion and then upped the ante with a remarkable 3-for-7 showing in subsequent games. Yeomans didn’t just stop at that; he also contributed to the scoring frenzy with a groundout RBI and followed it up with a thrilling two-run homer in the eighth inning that soared over the right-center field wall. Talk about a game-changer!

In a nail-biting 19-13 win, he further showcased his talent by driving in a teammate and closed out the game strong with two singles in the ninth inning. The excitement around this young player is palpable, and it’s clear he’s a vital part of the Pacers’ success this season!

USC Aiken Thriving!

Thanks to the contributions of Bouknight and Yeomans, the Pacers are currently enjoying a fantastic record of 11-7 overall, with a stellar 3-0 in the Peach Belt Conference. This week, fans have much to look forward to, as USC Aiken is scheduled to host Erskine at 3 p.m. on Wednesday. Following that, they’ll be gearing up for a three-game PBC series against Georgia Southwestern over the weekend.

So, mark your calendars and get ready to rally behind the Pacers as they continue to build on this momentum! With players like Bouknight and Yeomans stepping up, it’s bound to be an exciting season ahead for USC Aiken baseball!
