Sued had 10 strikeouts in 4 innings while Finch had 4 strikeouts in 2 innings.

The Falcons JV continued their winning ways with a two game sweep of visiting Hollywood Hills this past Saturday. Flanagan looked in midseason form in all aspects of the game. The brought two games of big offense, consistent defense and stellar pitching to make the wins look easy.

Steven Gonzalez pitched a 5 inning complete game shutout, allowing no runs on 1 hit while striking out 7 and walking none.

The dominate pitching continued in game 2 with starter Christian Monero pitching 3 scoreless innings for the win.

The scoring continued in the top of the 6th when Sarmiento led off the inning with his 2nd double of the afternoon, and then stole 3rd base. Munoz came up next and hit a sac fly to get his 3rd RBI on the day which made the score 4-0.
In the top of the 7th inning Andres Visbal led off the inning with a long homerun to dead centerfield where he had just hit a double off the fence two innings before. Ryan Dodge followed that up with a double and Oscar Rodriguez then singled, but was called out trying to stretch it to second on a questionable call at best. David Sarmiento then came up with his 3rd double of the afternoon to drive in Dodge for his 2nd RBI making the score 6-0.
