How it Happened
Brevard used a pair of two-run singles after loading the bases and added another run on a bases loaded walk, plating five runs in the eighth inning to take a 9-3 win.

Pfeiffer took the early 1-0 lead in the second inning after Bryan Kowalski (Kernersville, N.C.) started the inning with a single through the left side of the Brevard infield.  After he stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch, Noah Handy (Burlington, N.C.) grounded out to first base allowing Kowalski to scamper home.

Brevard would tie it at 1-1 in the top of the third inning, and would take the 4-1 lead in the fifth inning.  Pfeiffer drew to 4-3 in the home half of the fifth after Bryce Marsh (Asheboro, N.C.) lifted his second home run of the season, a two-run shot to right field.

Over the next two innings, neither team could score until Brevard's outburst in the eighth.

Kowalski led the Falcons, going 3-of-3 on the afternoon with a run scored while Marsh had a pair of RBI on his homer, going 2-or-4 on the afternoon.

Up Next
The Falcons will have some time to regroup, as they will play host to William Peace University on Thursday, March 18 at Joe Ferebee Field.  First pitch is slated for 4:00 p.m.
