The Falcons clinched 1st place in the District with a 8-3 win over the West Broward Bobcats to stay undefeated, 8-0, in District play.

The Falcons had a great team effort as they fell behind early and were able to overcome a 2-0 deficit and score in 4 of the 6 innings they were on offense. 8 of the starting 9 players got at least 1 hit on the evening.

 Hunter Platts led the way with a 3-3, 3 RBI performance and Peter Moforis chipped in with 2 hits and an RBI as well. With the score tied, Arrison Perez came up with the big blow in the 5th inning. With 2 outs and a man on, Perez delivered what turned out to be the game winning RBI with a 2 run homerun to centerfield to put the Falcons up 5-3. The Falcons would end up scoring 3 more runs in the bottom of the 6th to make the score 8-3 and secure the win.

Dylan O'Connell started on the hill and would last 3 innings giving up 2 runs, 1 earned, on 2 strikeouts and 2 BB's. Dakota Doyle came in to take over after a leadoff walk in the top of the 4th inning and was able to shut down the Bobcat offense until the 5th inning. The Bobcats tied the score after a leadoff HBP scored on a 2 out hit. Doyle gave up 1 earned run on 3 strikeouts to pick up the win in relief. Gentry Fortuno entered the game in the top of the 6th with the Falcons leading 5-3.  He struck out 3 of the 7 hitters he faced to earn the save.
