The Falcons took on the Killian Cougars at NSU with their ace, Gentry Fortuno, on the hill and came away with a 2-0 win to bring their win streak to 9.
There wasn't much offense on the night as the Falcons were only able to get 3 hits on the evening which was only one more than the Cougars got against Fortuno.
Fortuno (3-1) threw a 2 hit complete game shutout with 5 K's and no walks to pick up his 3rd win on the season.
The lone runs came in the top of the 6th inning with 2 outs. Eric Rivera started the 2 out rally with a single up the middle. Peter Moforis came up and hustled out a routine chopper to 1st which the 1st baseman bobbled and Moforis was able to reach safely on the error. Mark Vientos came up and battled to reach 1st with his 2nd walk on the evening to load the bases. Hunter Platts came up with the bases loaded and 2 outs, and on a 3-1 count Platts delivered the crucial hit up the middle to score both Rivera and Moforis to make the score 2-0. That would be all the Falcons needed as Fortuno would take care of the rest.
The Falcons (9-2, 5-0) will be back at home against McArthur in a District contest on Wednesday, March 18th at 6:30 pm.
