After being held scoreless through the first seven innings, the Ghost Grabs sent 13 batters to the plate during a nine-run eighth inning to rally on the road. 

Quinlan Keefe (Manhattan, N.Y.) completed the scoring with a grand slam to right field. 

The big inning began with a one-out walk to Brock Polilli (Tiffin, Ohio). Back-to-back singles from Drew Nye (Highland CC, Kan.) and Will Jones (WCA) loaded the bases. 

Trey Pierce (Brunswick CC/WCA) worked a seven-pitch walk to tie the score at 1-1. Nye scored what turned out to be the winning run on another walk, this time to Ryan Seagroves (Brunswick CC). 

Julian King (St. Maarten) singled home another run. The lead grew to 5-1 following consecutive walks to Dylan Stacks (North Brunswick) and Jack Cuba (Catawba/New Hanover). 

Cuba and Jones both finished 2-for-3.

Cape Fear (16-7, 14-5 Coastal Division) relief pitcher Aiden McBride (Southeastern CC/Hoggard) struck out five batters and scattered only three hits in three innings to secure the win. 

Starter Sean Smith (UNC Pembroke/New Hanover) allowed one unearned run in five innings. Sean Doty (Southeastern CC) retired all three batters he faced in the ninth to close the door.

Shallotte (2-18, 2-18) scored its run in the third inning on a two-out single from Bobby Fleming (Wilmington, Ohio).
