Elizabethton, TN – The Falcons dropped the final game of a two-game series with the Milligan College Buffaloes in dramatic fashion, losing 3-2 in walk-off fashion Wednesday afternoon.

Bryan DeJesus pitched well for the Falcons, going 6.0 innings while allowing just one run. The right-hander allowed five hits and three walks but was able to fan a career-high seven batters.

Offensively, the Falcons managed seven hits on the afternoon. Cody Mericer (2-for-3) and Andres Ruiz (2-for-4) each had multi-hit efforts while Xavier Feliz, Devin Perry, and Joey LaRocca each tacked on a base hit of their own.
