The Falcons added another run in the top of the third but the Bulldogs took the lead with four runs in the bottom of the fourth when Calvin Hawke doubled to left center off of Falcons starter, Drew Wilson. Gatlin followed with a single to right to score Hawke. Hunter Peirce followed with a single to right center and then Chris Davis connected for a three run homer to clear the bases.
Pfeiffer scrapped together another run in the top of the sixth with a Cody McKenzie RBI single and then in the top of the seventh, Eckard led off with a homer to center field.
