Flanagan won their 8th District Title in the last 9 years Friday night against the Lightning from Cypress Bay. The Falcons mustered enough offense to score 4 runs and on the arm of Alex Sarmiento were able to shut out the Lightning 4-0.
Alex Sarmiento (6-1) pitched a complete game shutout giving up 5 hits while striking out 2. Sarmiento got into trouble in the first inning with runners on first and second and only one out, but was able to get the next two batters to fly out to left and then to center. Sarmiento only allowed 4 more base runners the rest of the night.
Andres Rios was the offensive star with a 2-2 night driving in 2 RBI's in the bottom of the 4th inning to give the Falcons a 3-0 lead. Ryan Dodge led off the 4th inning with a catcher's interference call and Kharlin Sued followed that up with a sharp infield single of the pitcher's glove. Daniel Oliveri came up to bat and hit a line drive single to center field for an RBI and gave the Falcons a 1-0 lead. Rios then stepped up and drove in two with a sharply hit line drive to right center which put the lead at 3-0. The Falcons ended up stranding two runners and the score remained 3-0 going into the bottom of the 6th. With one out AJ Munoz walked and Rios followed that up with his second hit of the night. Kevin Mora then pinch hit and walked. The ball got away from the catcher on a strikeout and Munoz was able to score to make it 4-0 to end the scoring on the night.
The Falcons (18-5) will host the Coral Glades Jaguars in a Regional Quarter-Final game on Wednesday at 7pm.
