Pittsfield led 7-6 after Walker Abdallah walked and came around to score on an error in the top of the sixth. The Falcons then sent five batters to the plate in the bottom half before PHS could record an out. A single, three walks and an error did the damage before Tyler Gaudette induced a sacrifice fly and strike out the 8-9 hitters to end the frame.
