The Pinecrest Varsity Baseball team won the first round of the Sandhills Athletic 4A Conference Tournament last night with a 24-0 win against Seventy-First High School at John Williams Stadium. The game was a mismatch from the start as the 1st seed Patriots faced the 8th seed Falcons who showed good sportsmanship and determination their entire season despite not winning a game.
