Falcons Complete Two Game Weekend Series Sweep of Conchs With 13-9 Victory
The Flanagan Falcons (16-2) held off a furious seven run, 7th inning rally by the Key West Conchs (13-10), and, for the second night in a row, recorded the final out with the bases loaded, to hold on for the 13-9 road victory. Falcons starter Adam Quiles (5 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 H, 5 BB, 4 K) improved his 2010 record to 3-0 with another workmanlike effort, while junior southpaw Mike Melendez earned his first save of the season.
On offense, Flanagan was led by muti-hit nights from Matt Figueroa (2-4, 2 R, 3 RBI, BB), Pichi Torres (2-3, R, RBI, 2B, 3B, BB) and Melendez (2-4, R, 2 RBI, SAC), who leads the Falcons with a .519 batting average.
The boys in green and black finish their 2010 regular season campaign with a road game on Wednesday night at 6:30pm against South Broward, with their Senior Night home finale scheduled for Thursday at 7pm against the Nova Titans.

Falcons Defeat Key West Conchs, 4-1, Behind Complete Game From Torres
The Flanagan Falcons improved their record to 15-2 on Friday night with a 4-1 road victory against the Key West Conchs. Senior righthander Pichi Torres (5-1) went the distance, allowing 1 earned run on 9 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 3.

On offense, Jimenez (2-3, R, RBI, 2B, HBP), Santiago (2-3, RBI, BB) and junior Mike Melendez (2-3, R, 2B, 3B) had multi-hit nights, Torres went 1-3 with a walk, while Matthew Beauchemin (1-3, R, 2B, RBI) and Corey Janson (1-1, RBI, 2 BB) drove in key runs for the Falcons.

Machado Wins Classic Pitcher's Duel As Falcons Edge Douglas, 1-0
Justin Machado (7-0) remained undefeated in 2010, shutting down a potent Douglas Eagles (14-2) offense that had been averaging over 10 runs a game, and a solo shot by junior Ricky Santiago (2-3, HR, R, RBI) in the bottom of the 6th inning was the difference, as the Flanagan Falcons improved to 14-2 with the 1-0 victory. Machado allowed 2 singles through 6 1/3 innings pitched, while striking out 4, walking 2 and hitting a batter. Senior Pichi Torres recorded the final two outs to earn his 2nd save of the season.
Douglas starter Jonathan Lipinski (7-1) was nearly equal to the task, allowing only 4 hits and striking out 8 Falcons in 5 1/3 innings of work. Torres and Ryan Lozada each went 1-2, while the Falcons defense was error-free in a very solid effort.
The Falcons are on the road on Monday, April 12, at 6:30pm against crosstown rival Pines Charter, before heading south to play Key West next Friday and Saturday night.

Baby Falcons Cruise Past Colts, 12-1, in Season Finale
The Baby Falcons have earned their wings. Playing their final game of the 2010 season, the JV squad would finish the way they started….. with a blowout win. It would take a couple of innings to get going, but the Falcons would score 8 runs in the 3rd inning to run away from the Coral Springs Colts. The Baby Falcons finish the season with an impressive 11-2 record.
Falcons starting pitcher, David Thompson (4 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 4 K, 3 BB), would go 4 strong innings to get the victory. The Colts’ only run was unearned. Offensively, the Falcons were led by Adrian Garces (2-3, 2 R, 3 RBI), Brandon Mateo (1-2, 1 R, 2 RBI), and Christian Nelson (2-2, 1 R). Defensive gems were turned in by Jadan Garcia’s putout of a runner attempting to stretch a single into a double, and a fine double play turned by pitcher, David Thompson, and shortstop, Andres Sanchez.
Congratulations on a great season for the Baby Falcons, and special thanks to the coaching staff, Noel Figueroa and Pete Greenwood ( plus a cameo appearance by fill-in 3rd base coach, Pichi Torres). The future is bright for Flanagan baseball.
