Falcons Crush Cowboys 16-3 in District Opener

For Cooper City(1-2, 0-1) the night couldn't have started better; they got the Falcons out in the top of the 1st inning and proceeded to score a run in the bottom half of the frame to take a 1-0 lead after 1 inning. That would be the end of their "good night" as Flanagan reeled off 9 runs on 8 hits in the top of the 2nd inning. "Talk about stirring up a bees nest!" That was a statement made by one of the coaches. So. LF- Danny Zardon (4 for 4, 3 runs, 4 RBI) started the inning with a hard line drive up the middle and scored on Andres Sanchez's 2nd HR of the season. Zardon and  Sanchez(3 for 4, 2 runs and 4 RBI) would later single and score on Robert Collin's double to right field in the same inning.

The Falcons(4-0, 1-0) would go on to score 4 runs in the 3rd and 3 more in the 4th for the final tally.

Pitching wise the Falcons relied on 4 guys to go through the 5 inning run rule shortened game. Sr. RHP-Matt Beauchemin started  but lasted only 1-1/3 inning. Jr. RHP Jose Mesa(1-0) earned his 1st Varsity win pitching 1-2/3 innings allowing just 1 run on 1 hit and striking out 2 batters. Jr. LHP- Mike Emigh pitched 1 inning allowing 2 singles but striking out the side. Sr. RHP- Robert Collin closed the game striking out 1 in the 5th inning.

The Falcons will host Western on Friday night at 6:30. Both teams come in undefeated and look to grab the early lead in District 12.
