Jay Desoto had a big afternoon at the plate, driving in three runs while reaching base three times.  The Las Vegas native now has four RBI on the season, tied for the team lead with Collin Fabio. 
 
The Falcons couldn't get much going against Texas A&M International until the third inning. Garret Thornton drove in Pemron Burrows on a single threw the left side. Later in the inning Desoto reached on a fielder's choice scoring Collin Fabio.
 
In the fourth, Cole Dickie hit an inside the park home run off the center field wall, the first of his Falcon career. Later in the inning, Thornton doubled down the left field line scoring Burrows once again. Desoto forced a walk, which brought in Collin Fabio tied the game at five at the end of four innings. The pitching couldn't hold the game there as they allowed the Dustdevils to score a run in the sixth and four in the seventh.  The Falcons didn't score again until the ninth as Nick Hernandez scored on a Desoto single up the middle, for the 10-6 final.
 
Thornton was the only Falcon with a multi-hit game going 2-for-4 with a double and driving in two runs. Desoto had a hit with his three RBI and walked twice.  Burrows and Fabio each scored twice. Hernandez also added a double.
 
Trever Berg got the start on the mound going six innings striking out six Dustdevils. Spencer Cofer came in relief and pitched 2.2 shutout innings, striking out three batters.
