The Carolina Vipers (5-4) and the Lake Norman Copperheads (2-7) both had scoring chances on Friday, but it was the Carolina Vipers that were able to capitalize on them as they pulled out a 3-2 win at Charlotte Latin.

The fact that the Carolina Vipers grouped all of their runs into the sixth inning helped them take advantage of their hits.

Mitchell Painter racked up two RBIs on two hits for the Carolina Vipers. He singled in the fourth inning and doubled in the sixth innings.

Richard Carter did his best to jumpstart the offense for the Lake Norman Copperheads, reaching base two times. He tripled in the second inning.

Philip Perry recorded his first win of the year for the Carolina Vipers. He allowed two runs over six innings. Perry struck out five, walked four and gave up nine hits.

Austin Hancock ended up on the wrong side of the pitching decision, charged with his third loss of the year. He lasted just six innings, walked one, struck out four, and allowed three runs.
