Arturo Tabales (Polk St. C.C.) would add to the Stangs lead, with a double that drove in 2 runs. The Falcons would match that with 2 runs of their own in the 5th inning to cut the defecit down to 7-5. Reeves had an RBI triple in the 7th inning, which left him a double shy of the cycle. The falcons would then load the bases up in the bottom half of the inning and scored 1 run off a single from Hunter Brannan (Mississippi Gulf Coast C.C.) to cut the lead to 1. Malik Fogg (Tompkins Cortland C.C.) stepped to the plate next and got hit by a pitch to tie the game at 8. Then Aaron Haughton (USC Upstate) drove in the game winning run with a bloop single to right field to give the Falcons the win.
