Brady Parker (Oakboro, N.C.),
Alec Bell (Kings Mountain, N.C.) and
Jacob Williamson (Reidsville, N.C.) each had two-baggers in the frame.Â
Greensboro scratched across a run in the second inning to draw to 6-1, but the Falcons got that run back when
Landon Evans (Statesville, N.C.) scored on a wild pitch in the second to go up 7-1. After an RBI single from Greensboro in the third made it 7-2, Bell belted a two-run home run to left field to push the lead to 9-2.
In the fifth,
Cory Lackey (Wilkesboro, N.C.) hit a three-run shot to left center to extend the Falcon lead to 12-2. A solo homer from Greensboro's Cam Edmonds in the sixth brought the game to a 12-3 score.Â
The Falcons would end the game in the seventh inning, with Parker launching a two-run home run to right center, making it 14-3.
With the bases loaded, the final run came across when Greensboro pitcher Logan Lacheid hit Evans on a 2-2 count, ending the game at 15-3.
Falcon pitcher
Thad Lewis (Greenville, N.C.) was solid on the afternoon, pitching 4.1 innings, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out a pair of Pride batters in earning his first win on the mound this season.
