In the ninth the Falcons tacked on two more runs. Colton Waltner scored on Kamachi’s single, then Josh Croft crossed on a Jerod Smith ground out.
In all the Falcons offense collected 12 hits and saw multi-hit games from Minteer, Kamachi and Kevin Biro.
The pitching staff got a lift with two solid performances from Jeremy Newton and Riley Barr. Starter Newton threw 4.2 innings allowing one earned run on five hits and only walked two. Barr threw 4.1 shutout innings in relief, striking out five and recorded the win.
