The Falcons visited the Bobcats den Friday afternoon and left with a 6-0 shutout win to stay atop the district at 4-0.
Gentry Fortuno (4-0) threw another gem, limiting the Bobcats to 2 hits on the day while striking out 4 and walking none. He threw 71 pitches in the complete 7 inning game shutout. Fortuno was in complete control the entire game with only three Bobcats even reaching base on the day.
The offense seemed to continue to improve. The Falcons had 11 hits on the day and didn't have a single strikeout. Andres Visbal and David Sarmiento led the way with 3 hits a piece. Sarmiento got the first big hit on the day in the top of the 4th to start the scoring when he hit a double to drive in Ryan Dodge, who had walked. AJ Munoz then came up with his biggest hit of the season when he drove in Oscar Rodriguez and David Sarmiento with a 2 out single for 2 RBI's to make the score 3-0.
The scoring continued in the top of the 6th when Sarmiento led off the inning with his 2nd double of the afternoon, and then stole 3rd base. Munoz came up next and hit a sac fly to get his 3rd RBI on the day which made the score 4-0.
In the top of the 7th inning Andres Visbal led off the inning with a long homerun to dead centerfield where he had just hit a double off the fence two innings before. Ryan Dodge followed that up with a double and Oscar Rodriguez then singled, but was called out trying to stretch it to second on a questionable call at best. David Sarmiento then came up with his 3rd double of the afternoon to drive in Dodge for his 2nd RBI making the score 6-0.
The Falcons (7-2, 4-0) will take to the road again on Thursday when they travel to Everglades for a first place showdown. The game is slated to start at 3:45.
