The Falcons lost a close one on the road to Park Vista 4-3 last night.
The Falcons had a 2-1 lead going into the bottom of the sixth inning, but the Cobras were able to get the big hits that eluded the Falcons to take the lead 3-2 entering the 7th inning. In the top of the 6th inning the Falcons threatened getting the first two base runners on and actually had 2nd and 3rd with no outs. The Cobra pitcher got the next three Falcon hitters to K, ground out to the pitcher and pop up to 1st base to squash the threat and give the Cobras plenty of momentum going into the bottom of the inning. The Cobras got three hits in the bottom of the inning, two of them driving in runs to take the lead 3-2. The Falcons fought back and tied the game on a 1st and 3rd play to make the score 3-3. In the bottom of the 7th, the Falcons walked the lead off hitter which would prove very costly. The Cobras bunted him to second and with 1 out the next hitter would hit a line drive down the left field line to walk off the Falcons and win the game 4-3.
Gentry Fortuno started for the Falcons and pitched 6 strong innings, but got no decision. Fortuno gave up 3 earned runs on 6 hits while striking out 6 and walking 1. Chris Rodriguez took over in the 7th and took the loss. Rodriguez's numbers were 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 1 H, 1 BB.
