JV holds on tight during Tornado Storm

Posted by Ray Evans on Mar 22 2012 at 05:00PM PDT

The JV scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 5th for a 13-12 come from behind win to improve their record to 8-2.

The Tornadoes jumped out to a quick 2-0 in the top of the 1st inning only to have the young Falcons answer back with 4 runs of their own in the bottom of the 1st inning. The Falcons struck again in the 3rd inning with 7 runs  giving them a comfortable 11-7 lead going into the 5th inning, or so they thought. The Tornadoes capitalized on a 2 out error to score 5 runs and take the lead, 12-11. In the bottom of the 5th inning Brandon Escalante led off with his second double of the game. He was followed by pinch hitter Ramon Garcia who singled. After a strikout, Alex Sarmiento doubled to drive in Escalante and tie the game, 12-12. Oscar Rodriguez came up to bat looking for the cycle only to be hit by a pitch. David Sarmiento stepped up to bat and delivered the game winning single over the centerfielders head to win the game 13-12.

Alejandro Garcia started on the hill for the Falcons and went 2 innings before being relieved by Peter Guarner in the third. Guarner pitched the 3rd inning and Scotty Swatscheno came in to pitch the 4th and 5th inning to gain the victory.

 

Oscar Rodriguez - 3-3, 2B, 3B, HBP, 2 RBI's

David Sarmiento - 2-4, 2 RBI's

Brandon Escalante - 2-2, 2-2B's, 3 RBI's

 

The JV (8-2) will take their show on the road to Coral Springs this Saturday for a Doubleheader starting at 1 pm.
