The Falcons took an early 6-0 after 2 innings and looked like they were going to make it an early day. Ricky Presno led the game off with a hard hit single to right field and Eric Rivera followed that up with a single of his own. Peter Moforis made it 3 hits in a row and got the games first RBI. Mark Vientos put another run across the plate with the 4th single in a row. With runners on 1st and 2nd and 1 out, Arrison Perez laid down a bunt that was mishandled and thrown away which enabled Vientos to score the 3rd run of the inning.
Ricky Presno got the 2nd inning going with 1 out when he reached by a HBP. Rivera singled and Moforis also reached by a HBP to load the bases. Vientos drew a bases loaded walk to make the score 4-0. Hunter Platts then came up and hit a double down the left field line to drive in 2 runs to make the score 6-0.
Gentry Fortuno (2-1) struck out 4 of the first 6 batters he faced but things quickly changed in the bottom of the 3rd inning. Fortuno struck out the first batter of the inning, but the ball got away from the catcher and the rally had begun. The next hitter, Chayce Hay-Eldon, singled and with 1 out the bases were loaded. The 1st baseman, Dalton Brockman, came up and delivered a 2 RBI single to cut the lead to 6-2. The next hitter was the cleanup hitter, Samyr Santos, who grounded to shortstop for the 2nd out of the inning but also drove the 3rd run across the plate to make the score 6-3.
The score stayed that way until the Falcons struck again with a run in the 5th inning. With 1 out, Vientos collected his 2nd hit of the day and stole 2nd base. Arrison Perez came up and drove Vientos in with his 2nd hit of the game to make the score 7-3. Perez stole 2nd base but was stranded as the Falcons could not push another run across.
