Fortuno Shuts Out Broncos

Posted by Ray Evans on Feb 20 2015 at 04:00PM PST

Gentry Fortuno (1-1) threw a gem Friday night as he struck out 13 while only giving up 2 hits in a 4-0 victory. The Broncos from Palm Beach Central never got a runner on base until the 1st hit came in the 5th inning. The Broncos would get one more hit in the 7th before Fortuno got the last hitter to ground out to shortstop to end the game.

As for the offense, Eric Rivera went 2-3 as did freshman Roberto Pena in his first varsity start. Pena drove in the first run of the game to give the Falcons a 1-0 lead. That run stood as the only run of the game until Andy Epstein came up with the big blow in the bottom of the 6th inning to put the game out of reach. With the bases loaded Epstein hit the first pitch he saw into the left centerfield gap to clear the bases and give the Falcons a 4-0 lead going into the final inning. Epstein was 1-3 with 3 RBI's and Arrison Perez went 1-2 with a double, a SB and scored 2 runs on the evening.

 

The Falcons (3-2, 1-0) will take on Hialeah Gardens at Falcon Field on Wednesday, Feb. 25th at 6:30 pm.
