The Falcons (8-0) downed the West Broward Bobcats 12-2 in 6 innings to stay undefeated and gain control of the top spot in the District.
The Falcons offense got going in the top of the 3rd inning when Oscar "Bui" Rodriguez hit the first of his 2 homeruns on the day over the left centerfield 370 ft. sign to take a 3-0 lead. Rodriguez would finish the day 3-3 with 2 homeruns, 4 RBI's and 3 runs scored.
In the top of the 5th inning and the score 3-2, Miguel Presno led off with a double. Andres Rios put down a sacrifice bunt to move Presno to third, but on the play the Bobcats 3rd baseman made a throwing error that allowed Presno to score making it 4-2 and put Rios at 2nd. Luis Barranco, who went 3-3 with 2 RBI's and 2 runs scored on the day, then laid down another sacrifice bunt to move Rios to 3rd base. After Rodriguez reached base by a HBP, Ryan Dodge stepped up and belted a 3 run homerun to make the score 7-2. Before the dust could settle, Eric Rivera stepped up and went back to back to make the score 8-2 and seemingly put the game out of reach.
In the top of the 6th inning the Falcons would cross the plate 4 more times to make the score 12-2, courtesy of 2 BB's, Barranco's 3rd hit of the day that drove in 2 runs and Rodriguez's 2nd homerun of the day that drove in 2 more. That concluded the offensive show for the Falcons.
Gentry Fortuno (3-0) took the hill and pitched a complete game to earn his 3rd win of the season and bring his high school career record to 20-0. Fortuno gave up 2 earned runs on 5 hits while striking out 5 and walking 1.
The Falcons (8-0, 4-0) will host Jupiter HS from Palm Beach on Friday, March 14th at 6:30 pm. This game is a rematch of last years Regional Final game in which Jupiter beat Flanagan and ruined their hopes of returning to the State Final Four.
