KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. (July 8) – A late-inning rally sparked the Outer Banks Daredevils’ (15-3) to a 9-4 win over the Greenbrier Knights (5-10)Tuesday at First Flight Field.

The Knights answered by picking up a run in the top of the fifth inning to extend the lead back to two runs. However, the Daredevils were able to bang out seven hits off relief pitcher Jarrett Horton in the bottom of the seventh inning to score five runs to take a 6-3 lead. The Daredevils then added three more runs in the bottom of the eighth inning off three hits. The Knights did score a run in the ninth inning, but it was too late, as the Daredevils claimed their 15th victory of the season, 9-4.
Relief pitcher Scott Oberhelman picked up his first win of the season, going two innings without allowing a run. Oberhelman struck out two and allowed a pair of walks and a hit.
Horton was garnered with the loss, allowing a total of nine hits and eight earned runs in two innings. Horton also walked one and struck out one.

KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. (July 7) – The Outer Banks Daredevils (14-3) used strong pitching to defeat the Virginia Warriors (0-10) by a score of 6-2 Monday at First Flight Field.
Despite the strong pitching, Daredevils’ starter Harry Ferguson didn’t get the start he was looking for, hitting the first two batters and allowing a single to give the Warriors and early 1-0 lead. However, Ferguson retired the next three batters. Ferguson only allowed one more hit and another run in the third inning before being pulled after five full innings of work.
The Daredevils picked up their scoring in the second inning, scoring three runs off two hits, which included an RBI-single by Chris Childress that scored Brett Johnson. Childress later scored from third on a balk.
The Daredevils added two runs in the fourth inning off three hits, and added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth inning. Cooper Jones picked up his second save of the season, recording six outs and allowing one hit for a final score of 6-2.
