Posted by Ray Evans on Feb 26 2015 at 04:00PM PST

The Flanagan offense took care of business with a 12-2 decisive victory against Hialeah Gardens.

Eric Rivera and Peter Moforis started things off with back to back homeruns in the bottom of the 1st inning to make it 2-0.  After the 2nd out was made Arrison Perez singled and was balked to second base. Mark Vientos then drove in Perez with a single for an RBI to make the score 3-0 after one inning of play.

In the bottom of the 2nd there was more of the same. Andy Epstein led the inning off with a single, stole second base and moved to 3rd on a fielders choice. After a walk was issued to Ricky Presno to put runners on 1st and 3rd, Eric Rivera came up and doubled to the gap to drive in a run and put the score at 4-0. Then just like the 1st inning, Peter Moforis followed Rivera up with a single of his own to drive in 2 more runs to bring the score to 6-0.

In the 3rd inning the Gladiators got on the board with 2 runs of their own to make the score 6-2.

In the 4th inning with 1 out, Ricky Presno doubled and moved to 3rd on a wild pitch. Once again Rivera stepped up to get his 3rd hit and 3rd RBI of the evening to make the score 7-2. 

In the bottom of the 5th inning the Falcons would score 5 more runs to end the game early.  Perez led off with a walk and Vientos would follow that up with a double to right center for his 2nd hit and 2nd RBI of the game.  After a strikout and another walk, Miguel Presno would get his 1st hit and 1st RBI on the night to make the score 9-2. Ricky then came up with his 2nd hit and 1st RBI of the evening to make it 10-2. The night ended just the way it started, with Rivera driving in runs. Rivera collected his 4th hit of the evening to drive in the final two runs of the night to end the game 12-2.

Eric Morera (1-0) pitched the first 2 innings giving up no runs, 1 hit, while striking out 2 and walking 2. Jeremy Cook (1-0) came into the game to pitch the final 3 innings and pick up his first win of the season. He gave up 2 earned runs on 2 hits and 1 HBP, while walking 2 and striking out 2.
