North Carolina Central University used a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth inning from Timmy Fischvogt (Kernersville, N.C.) to get a 10-9 win over Davidson in a slugfest on Saturday, April 6 at the Durham Athletic Park. 

The Eagles reached a new season-high with 16 hits, surpassing the 15 against Bethune-Cookman back on March 15.  Josh Brammell (Harrison City, Pa.) wasn’t retired once during the contest as he went 3-for-3 with two walks, and picked up an RBI with three runs scored.
