The game was then tied 4-4 after three innings and the Golden Eagles made their surge as they took the lead 9-6 in the top of the sixth inning.
The bottom of the sixth inning was comeback time for the Falcons. The bases were juiced with a combination of hits, hit by pitch, and walks as the table was set for Sam Bruno. Bruno delivered a two RBI double to start to reeling in Rock Valley.
Three pitchers combined in the game for the Falcons as Jack Meyer got the start and went 4 innings. Will Mentz came into the game in relief for 1 2/3 innings and then Henry Kufa came in last 1 1/3 innings to strike out 3 batters and end the game and earn the win.
