Charles W. Flanagan High School Baseball

On a night when the 4 seniors were honored before the game the Falcons wanted to make sure they got out of the gates quickly. The Falcons did just that as they scored 5 runs in the 1st 3 innings and eventually won the game 7-4.

Dakota Doyle got a rare start for the Falcons and made it worth his while. He pitched a shutout into the 5th inning. After putting runners on 1st and 2nd with one out, Eric Morera came on to relieve Doyle.The first pitch that Morera delivered was deposited over the left field fence to cut the lead to 5-4. Morera was able to get the next 2 outs to end the inning. Jeremy Cook came on to pitch the final 2 innings to earn the save. Cook didn't give up a hit or walk while striking out 2.

Mark Vientos led the way with a 2 hit, 2 RBI, 3 run scoring performance. Arrison Perez also had 2 hits, 1 RBI and scored 1 run. Andy Epstein and Miguel Presno both came up with RBI hits in the 5th inning to make the score 7-4. That completed the scoring on the night.

The Falcons ended the regular season 17-5 and will play Everglades at home in the first round of the playoffs on Tuesday, April 21st at 7pm.
