Charles W. Flanagan High School Baseball

Justin Machado (7-0) remained undefeated in 2010, shutting down a potent Douglas Eagles (14-2) offense that had been averaging over 10 runs a game, and a solo shot by junior Ricky Santiago (2-3, HR, R, RBI) in the bottom of the 6th inning was the difference, as the Flanagan Falcons improved to 14-2 with the 1-0 victory.  Machado allowed 2 singles through 6 1/3 innings pitched, while striking out 4, walking 2 and hitting a batter.  Senior Pichi Torres recorded the final two outs to earn his 2nd save of the season.

Douglas starter Jonathan Lipinski (7-1) was nearly equal to the task, allowing only 4 hits and striking out 8 Falcons in 5 1/3 innings of work.  Torres and Ryan Lozada each went 1-2, while the Falcons defense was error-free in a very solid effort.

The Falcons are on the road on Monday, April 12, at 6:30pm against crosstown rival Pines Charter, before heading south to play Key West next Friday and Saturday night.
