Falcons fail to capitalize on home-field advantage: Softball team loses to ARC, 4-1
Missed opportunity. The FLC softball team lost a game to American River College on Tuesday afternoon that was there for the taking. A questionable non-call by the field umpire and a near-miss of a fine defensive play in right field led to three Beaver runs in the first inning that proved to be the difference. Lefty starter Lauren Orris settled in after that and kept the Beavers' bats in check, but the Falcons weren't hitting, either. Brie Maddux' RBI single in the first inning scored McKenna Rickles from second with the Falcons' only run of the game. "We missed a great opportunity to pick up an important win in the Big 8 Conference," noted first-year head coach Jenna Alexander. "Hopefully we can move forward and get two on Saturday." The Falcons travel to Santa Rosa for a doubleheader on Saturday.
