On a night where getting a hit for the Falcons was like finding a needle in a haystack, Ryan Dodge was able to come up with the biggest hit of the season so far.
In the bottom of the seventh with 1 out and runners on 1st and 2nd, the score tied 2-2, Ryan Dodge hit a towering walk-off 3 run homerun to left field to give the Falcons a 5-2 victory at home in a district contest against the Western Wildcats.
The Falcons only had 2 hits on the night with the other one coming by way of Andres Visbal. Visbal singled in the bottom of the 7th with 1 out and Oscar Rodriguez, who had walked, on first. Then Dodge came up to deliver the big knockout blow. There were only 2 other scoring opportunities for the Falcons during the course of the game, but they were squashed when they could not come up with the clutch hits when needed.
Up until that point in the 7th inning it was an old fashioned pitchers dual. Gentry Fortuno (2-0) was nothing short of masterful, going the distance, giving up 2 runs, 1 earned on 4 hits, while striking out 12 and walking 2. Fortuno shut down scoring opportunities for the Wildcats in the 2nd and 5th innings to keep the game in check and struck out the side in the top of the 7th to give his team a chance to win in the bottom of the inning.
The Falcons (3-2, 2-0) will take on the Pines Charter Jaguars Tuesday night at home at 6:30pm.
