Game One: Brevard 6, Wingate 5 (10 innings)

Junior catcher Josh Clark (Clemmons, N.C.) was two-for-four with a double and two RBI to lead the Wingate attack. Senior outfielder Eric Serra (Miami, Fla.) two-for-six with a double, RBI and two runs scored. Junior outfielder Thomas Spitz (West Chester, Pa.) was two-for-three in game one.

Renegar's RBI single in the third gave Brevard an early 1-0 lead. Wingate answered with a run in the sixth, tying it at one on an RBI double from Clark.

Spencer led off the seventh with a homer to put the Tornados on top 2-1. Wingate answered in the eighth, when Serra led off the frame with a walk, went to second on a sacrifice, stole third, then scored on a wild pitch to tie it at two.

Brevard scored three times in the eighth to take a 5-2 lead. The Tornados took advantage of three Wingate errors, while Donaldson added an RBI single to put Brevard on top by three.

The Bulldogs answered with three in the ninth to tie it. Serra plated the first run with an RBI double, while a passed ball scored another run to make it 5-4. Clark delivered the game-tying RBI single with two outs, making it 5-5.

Brevard again took advantage of Wingate miscues in the 10th to win it. Renegar led off the frame with a single, then went to second on an error on the throw. He scored from second on the next play via a Wingate throwing error, the fifth error of the game for the Bulldogs.

Carson Anderson got the win in relief, tossing one inning without allowing a hit, walking one. Junior right-hander Brett Morgan (Clemmons, N.C.) took the loss, falling to 1-1. He allowed an unearned run on one hit in one inning of work.

Wingate took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first. Billings started the game with a walk, then stole second. He scored on an RBI single from Krebs to make it 1-0.
