How it Happened – Game 1
Trailing 4-1 entering the seventh inning, Pfeiffer plated four runs to gain the 5-4 lead and then held off Meredith in the home half of the inning to take the come-from-behind win.

The Falcons started the inning with three-straight singles from Kenzi Lyall (Sparta, N.C.), Kyndell Warren (Lenoir, N.C.) and Gracie Griffin (Calabash, N.C.), with Warren and Griffin driving in one run each to make it 4-3.  Sophomore Emma Chopko (Mooresville, N.C.) would tie the game at 4-4 on a sacrifice fly to left field, providing the first out of the inning.

A groundout to shortstop would push a Falcon runner to third.  Sophomore Emma Bullin (Ararat, N.C.) would put the Falcons on top 5-4 with a two-out single to left field.

In the Meredith seventh, relief pitcher Kali Morton (Mooresville, N.C.) struck out the first batter she faced then allowed a single the center field.  Meredith would get the tying run on second, but Morton struck out the next two batters to earn the win and solidify the Falcon comeback.

Emma Bullin earned the pitching win, improving to 1-0 on the season while Morton earned her first save of the season.
