Both teams play again Monday, February 17 in a doubleheader at USA Baseball National Training Complex. The first game starts at 1 p.m. and the second game begins at approximately 3 p.m. The three-game series was moved one day to Sunday and Monday due to wet field conditions at Optimist Park in Raleigh, N.C., caused by a winter storm during this past week.

The Falcons and Warriors played a single nine-inning game Sunday. They will play two seven-inning games on Monday.
