Bradley Dixon (Greenwood, S.C.) went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and a two-run home run, as Luke Morgan (New Lenox, Ill.) posted a 3-for-6 effort with three runs.

Tommy Richter (Wayne, Pa.) added a solo home run as part of a 2-for-5 day, while Cameron Garrett (Charleston, S.C.) and Ari Sechopoulos (Windsor, Ontario, Canada) each drove in one. Dupree Hart (Rock Hill, S.C.) extended his reached-base streak to 38 games with a first-inning single.

Austin George (Mooresville, N.C.) got the start surrendered two runs on five hits in three innings of work. Justin Baker (Huntersville, N.C.) allowed three earned runs and struck out three in two frames. Carter Love (Charlotte, N.C.) tossed two scoreless innings to earn the win, as Clay Hunt (Fort Mill, S.C.) and Brian Rourke (Germantown, Md.) combined for the final two frames.
