Alex Ledford (Asheville, NC/Chattanooga State CC) led the Hurricanes' offence as he went 3-5 and knocked in one RBI. Augie Ayers (Chesterfield, VA/Manchester HS), Zac Laneve (Pittsburgh, PA/Pine Richland HS) and Jeffrey Sneed (Atlanta, GA/Kings Ridge HS) also contributed at the plate as they each had a pair of hits with Ayers and Sneed driving in runs.

The Hurricanes will take a short break before returning to the field tonight at 6:00 pm when they take on the winner of USC Lancaster and USC Sumter.
