Montgomery, Ala. – After an exciting win over the Crusaders in game one the Eagles looked to repeat their feat in game two. Both teams were scoreless until the fourth inning when William Carey put up a single run. Faulkner remained unshaken, but the Crusaders were able to add two more in both the fifth and sixth innings, while the Eagles failed to drive in runners on base. Faulkner put up two runs in the seventh inning, but it wasn’t enough to turn the tide and the Eagles lost 6-2.
