Parker Bradley singled to left field, Tyrek Beverly walked, and Alden Lassiter reached on a fielder’s choice with Bradley out at third. Beverly then scored on Evan Lassiter’s RBI single to left and Alden Lassiter scored on Edward Bradley’s RBI single to center. That made it 9-2 after five.

Currituck got two in the top of the sixth and another pair in the top of the seventh to make it 13-2. In the bottom of the seventh, Cameron Lassiter got a two-out single to right but a fly-ball out ended the game.

Hertford County had seven hits, two each by Evan Lassiter and Edward Bradley while Parker Bradley, Cameron Lassiter, and Trent Munford had one hit apiece.
