The Falcons were locked in another Friday night pitchers duel as Montevallo's Adiel Melendez and Lee's Cooper Casteel were dealing.
 
Montevallo had a great opportunity to take the early lead as Jacob pearl and McGwire Turner led off the game with back-to-back singles. The Flame defense did a nice job of escaping the jam as Casteel rolled three consecutive ground balls. In the bottom half, Adiel Melendez twirled a 1-2-3 inning to begin his outing.
 
After the Falcons were retired in the top of the second, Lee took the lead with a two-run homer to left.
 
In the fourth inning, both teams' offenses were shut down as they rolled into double-play balls. Lee threatened to score in the fifth, but Melendez struck out the final two batters of the inning to get out of a first and second one out jam.
 
The Falcons cracked the scoreboard in the eighth as Daniel Irizarry was plunked to start the inning. Irizarry advanced to third on a single by Ian Cartwright, but Cartwright got thrown out trying to advance to second. Lee was able to get out of the inning with a pop up and a ground out.
 
The Flames added an insurance run in the eighth with a sacrifice fly to center. UM went down 1-2-3 in the ninth to end the ballgame.
