Wow!  On Senior night the Falcons got it done, outlasting Battlefield in a 12 inning Cedar Run contest.  The Falcons were paced by superb pitching performances by Senior Branden Bartlett, throwing the first seven innings, and Senior Adam Young getting the win throwing the last five innings of the ball game.  The Falcons offense was held to 6 hits in the contest as Seniors Colin Miller(2), Branden Bartlett, Nick Caito, and Adam Young provided the offense.  The other hit came off of the bat of Andrew Byrd in the 12th.  Byrd's hit set the table for the game ending play in which Billy Pierce sacrifice bunted to the Catcher and the throw to first was errant, scoring Byrd on the play.

Falcons (4-12) 4 Stonewall Jackson 5

The Falcons started with a bang on back to back home runs in the first by Branden Bartlett and Cassidy McDaniel, but were unable to keep the offensive pressure on throughout, resulting in another hard fought loss.  Branden Bartlett was effective in the start, and Greg Ussery kept the game in reach out of the bullpen.  The Falcons made a push in the 6th when McDaniel, Andrew Byrd and Nick Caito loaded the bases for Freshman Ryan Smith(2-3 on the night) who delivered with an RBI single.  That is where the scoring ended for the Falcons who face local rival Liberty High School Friday at Athey Memorial Ballpark at Fauquier High School.

Falcons (4-11) 1 Osbourn 3

The Falcons battled hard but came up short, unable to provide stronger run support behind an outstanding Cassidy McDaniel pitching outing.  McDaniel went the distance and was backed by a strong team defense performance.  The Falcons only run came in the third when freshman catcher Ryan Smith singled with one out.  That was followed by a base hits by Colin Miller and Branden Bartlett to load the bases.  The run came when Ryan Smith tagged and scored on a sacrifice fly by McDaniel.  But that would be it for the Falcons offense and the team falls to 1-5 in the Cedar Run.  The Falcons next matchup is Thursday at Stonewall Jackson.
