The Falcons began their season with a 7-1 win over Monroe.

Kaaren and Maria split the pitching duties, and combined for a one-hitter, striking out nine between them.

 Kaaren hit the first pitch she saw in 2009 over the left field fence in the second inning, for the Falcons' first run.  Cat's two-run single spear-headed a six-run Falcon fifth inning that put the game away.
