BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. -- Fairmont State erased a 2-0 deficit to down Ohio Valley, 5-2, on Wednesday evening at the Bridgeport Recreation Complex.
 
After falling behind 2-0 after a two-RBI single by Justin Gil in the first, the Falcons (15-19) scored five unanswered runs to picking up a non-conference home win over the Fighting Scots.
 
Brooks Carr cut the OVU lead in half in the bottom of the second when he hit his second home run of the season, a solo shot to right field.
 
Ohio Valley (7-25) maintained its 2-1 lead until the bottom of the fifth when the Falcons scored three runs to take the lead. Austin Norman scored the first run of the inning on a sacrifice fly to center field that brought home Josh Wine. Later in the inning, Jacob Whitmore hit an RBI single to right center and Carr struck again with a double to left center, making the FSU advantage 4-2.
 
Wine scored the final run of the game in the sixth on a sac-fly to right field that plated Scott Hessler from third.
 
The Falcons totaled 13 hits in the win, including multiple hits from Wine, Norman, Carr and Adam Meeker. FSU also tallied three doubles and three sacrifice hits (two sac-fly, one sac-bunt) in the win.
 
Fairmont State used a four-person committee on the hill to get the win. The staff allowed just four hits, including just three hits in eight shutout innings following a two-run first inning for the Scots. FSU fanned six batters in the win, as Houston Morris was credited with his first win of the season.
 
FSU will now travel to Notre Dame College for a four-game series on Saturday and Sunday in Avon, Ohio. Start time for Saturday's twin bill is set for 1 p.m.
