The Falcons beat Timber Creek 3-1 to win their 7th game in a row and improve their record to 15-4. With the Timberwolves traveling down from Orlando in a rain storm the Falcon staff did everything possible to make sure the game was played.
Wasn't a lot of offense on this night with the Falcons only getting 4 hits on the evening. Rafael Betances led off the 2nd inning with a single and moved to third after a walk and a passed ball. With 2 outs Daniel Oliveri drove in Betances to open up the scoring and give the Falcons a 1-0 lead. Ryan Dodge got a big 2 out double to drive in a run in the 3rd inning to make the score 2-0. The Falcons scored their final run in the 4th without ever getting a hit. The Falcons walked twice, sacrificed the runners over and then scored on a wild pitch.
Jose Mesa (8-1) started and went 5 strong innings. He got into some trouble in the 6th when he gave up 1 hit and loaded the bases up with 2 walks. Mesa handed the ball over to Gentry Fortuno to try and get out of the bases loaded no out jam. After an error at short and the score at 3-1, Fortuno was able to strikeout the next hitter and get a crucial 1-2-3 double play ball to end the threat. Fortuno took care of the 7th by striking out 3 to end the game and gain his first save.
The Falcons (15-4, 10-0) will play it's final regular season game on Friday, April 20th against Taravella. That game is designated as this year's Senior Night game.
