Falcons Get 20th Win of Inaugural Season

The FLC baseball team broke a 5-5 tie with a run in the ninth inning , then held on in the bottom half of the inning for a 6-5 win over Yuba College in Marysville yesterday.  The win was the 20^th of the Falcons' inaugural season, a feat previously unmatched in California Community College baseball history by 1^st-year teams.  The Falcons took an early 3-run lead in the second inning on RBI singles by Blake Rivera and Josh Criswell and a sacrifice fly byMike Majeski.  The 49ers answered back with 3 runs of their own in the home half of the second.  The Falcons reclaimed the lead in the fourth when Mychal Lee doubled home two runs for a 5-3 lead.  The score remained unchanged until Yuba tied it with a two-run triple in the eighth inning.  In the ninth, Vincent Debove hit a leadoff double for the Falcons and eventually scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly by Grant Heisinger.  In the home half of the ninth, a leadoff walk was all the 49ers could muster as Kendall Menard got two strikeouts and a flyout to earn the save.  The Falcons improve to 20-12, 12-8 in the BVC and have just four games remaining.

Important schedule note:  Tomorrow's home baseball game vs Mendocino has been postponed until Monday April 20 at 6:00 pm.
