The Bulldogs traveled to Fayetteville this weekend to take on the Trojans of FTCC.  The series was originally set for a DH Saturday and a single game on Sunday, however Saturday's games were postponed due to inclement weather and the teams played two games on Sunday.

Game 2 of the day saw both offenses scoring at a rapid pace in a contest where 24 total runs were plated.  Freshman Kyle Mott started on the mound, allowing 5 runs through 2+ innings.  He was relieved by Will Liverpool and then Nolan Bolt in a 3rd inning in which the Trojans plated 7 runs.  Branden Kunz pitched the final 2.1 innings to earn the win in relief.  PCC trailed 9-8 heading into the 6th before a 3 run inning gave them the lead and the eventual victory.  Trevor Losito and Bryce Lewis led the Bulldog offense, with Losito going 3-5 and Lewis collecting 2 hits including a bases loaded 3 RBI double.
