Birmingham & Solihull sunk to the bottom of National One on Saturday as indiscipline cost them victory. Lock Alex Davidson's yellow card with seven minutes to go proved crucial.
Cornish Pirates, trailing 23-17, took advantage of the extra man to go straight up the other end and score the winning try from the resulting penalty.
And Bees' earlier efforts, notably tries from forwards Andy Daish and Mark Gabey, bolstered by five Paul Knight kicks, were made to count for nothing.
On a day marred by Davidson's actions, for allegedly throwing a punch, Bees were left at the bottom thanks to Launceston turning round a half-time deficit to beat Rotherham.
