Pleasant reaches on an RPS error and Creech singles to load the bases. Conyers draws a walk to score Martin and Pleasant dashes home on a wild pitch. Ricky Martin reaches on a RPS miscue, a throw home with no force and the bases are stacked again. Myrick draws a walk to force in a run and its 6-0 Trojans. Raleigh gets 3 hits and two walks in the top of the third to make it 6-2 before the Trojans answer with three in the bottom of the inning, all with two out.

Trojan rally falls short against the Bengals

The Trojans rally for two in the seventh but needed three in the 4-3 loss to Fuquay. Hunter Brown takes the loss despite 5 innings of 4-hit ball as the Trojans can only muster a run on Matt Powell's RBI double. A genuine pitchers duel that turned on errors by both teams, 3 by the Trojans and 4 by Fuquay, including three in the 7th. Fuquay (5-0-1) strikes first, taking advantage of a Trojan error for a 1-0 lead in the first. In the second, Paco Martin nails the Fuquay runner at home to keep the score close. Garner (4-2) knots the game in the fourth when Jeremy Conyers is hit by a pitch and scores on Powell's RBI. The Bengals answer in the fifth on two Trojan errors to plate two for a 3-1 lead. Kevin Baker pitches an inning of scoreless relief and gives way to Philip Myrick who is touched for solo homer by Aaron Olive for 4-1 Fuquay lead. The Trojans go down fighting in the last inning. Paco Martin, Jackson Pleasant reach on consecutive Bengal errors and Martin scores on a wild pitch to make it 4-2. Another Bengal boot on Dillon Creech's hot shot scores Clint Clay, courtesy running for Pleasant to narrow the gap to 4-3 but the Trojans are unable to plate the tying run. Dillon Creech goes 2-4, Matt Powell 1-4 and Patrick Monahan 1-4:

Fuquay scores six in the 7th to blow open a close ballgame and send the Trojans to their first defeat of the CCSL season 8-1. Wil Norris holds the Bengals close for 4 innings, leaving trailing 1-0 and assisted by fine Trojan defense. Colin Perry makes two terrific outfield assists and Brett Bailey guns down two base stealers. Josh Randle first inning single and Seth Council's hit in the 3rd and a CJ Schmitt double are the only hits for the Trojans (6-1) get through Norris' day. Kevin McCreery pitches two innings of scoreless relief, aided by a terrific pick off of a Bengal at second and Bailey nailing a would be base theft in the sixth. Connor Torruella takes over in the seventh. The Bengals get two doubles and a single and two Trojan errors helps Fuquay bat around and plate six. In the seventh, Schmitt crushes his second double, a ground rule call as the drive to left bounces over the fence and scores on Perry's RBI single for the 8-1 final.

A 45-minute lightening delay stops the Trojan momentum as Lee County scores 5 after the break and a seventh inning rally falls short in the 7-4 loss to very tough Lee County. Starter Jackson Pleasant is touched for a 2-run homer by Patrick Oldham but cruises into the delay without giving up another score. The Trojans answer in the 2nd when Jeremy Conyers reaches on a Jacket error and reaches third on Ricky Martin's single. Conyers tags and scores on Matt Powell's sacrifice fly followed by a Pleasant RBI single to knot the game at 2-2. After the lenghty delay, Lee County packages three singles for a 3-2 lead. In the fifth, the Jackets score twice to add to their lead. Kevin Baker takes over in the sixth, The Jackets get a single and a two out double to push two across for a 7-2 advantage. Drew Gay relieves and sits the Jackets down in order in the sixth. In the final frame, pinch hitter Matt Price starts the rally with a walk and moves to second on Dillon Creech's second hit of the night. A wild pitch moves the runners up a base before Hunter Brown RBI single. Conyers singles scores Creech to cut the lead to 7-4. But not enough to avoid their first loss and fall to 3-1 on the season.
