The Falcons took the field Friday night in hopes of making it's first return to the Final Four since 2010. Those hopes were erased after the Jupiter Warriors came in to Falcon Field and beat the Falcons 8-1 in the Regional Final.
The Warriors started the scoring in the bottom of the first. Chris Rodriguez started the game for the Falcons and got into trouble right away in the 1st inning. With 2 outs and a man on 3rd, the Warriors cleanup hitter hit a 2-1 pitch over the centerfield wall to stake the Warriors to a 2-0 lead. The next hitter followed that up with a back to back solo shot to left centerfield, to make the score 3-0. The Falcons made a pitching change and brought in Kharlin Sued to close the inning. The second and third were silent and the Falcons looked as if they might get back into the game when Daniel Oliveri hit a solo shot in the bottom of the 2nd inning to make the score 3-1. It just wasn't to be the Falcons night though. In the top of the 4th inning the Falcons got into trouble. The Warriors loaded the bases loaded with two outs. Alex Sarmiento was called on to relieve Sued and would have gotten out of the jam. Sarmiento was able to get a routine ground ball that looked like it would end the inning but a crucial throwing error gave the Warriors 2 more runs to make the score 5-1. The Warriors added 1 run in the 6th and 2 more in the 7th to make the final score 8-1.
Senior AJ Munoz and Freshman Eric Rivera both had 2 hits on the night and Senior Daniel Oliveri went 1-1 with 2 BB's and the solo homerun for the lone RBI on the night.
It wasn't quite the way the Falcons had hoped for the season to end, but it was a very successful year and one they all should be proud of. The Falcons won the District Championship once again, made it to another Regional Final and finished the year at 20-6. Congratulations to the 2013 Falcon Baseball Team.
