HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - A tough start to the game was too much to overcome Tuesday in midweek action at NCAA D1 Alabama A&M as the Eagles fell 10-3 to snap a seven game win streak.

Juan Trinidad drove in Evan Gilliam to take a 1-0 lead over the Bulldogs, but Faulkner could not find a way off the field in the bottom half as the hosts scored six runs on five hits. In the bottom of the third, Alabama A&M scored three more to pull even further away before a bottom fourth inning run put them into double figures. 

Drew Mackie's two RBI single pushed it to 10-3 but Faulkner could not score any more. 

Henry Thornton and Kelton Pilkinton each turned in an inning of shutout pitching and Jordan Destefano gave two innings of the same. After a tough first inning, Alexis Saldana pitched a good second inning before giving way for Evan Valencia who had a similar pattern. 

Faulkner pitchers walked eight batters and the batters drew just one walk
