Falcons earn sweep with 6-2 win
In the afternoon game, freshman starter Landon Mitchell threw six innings of shutout ball while giving up just two hits. More importantly, he allowed just one walk and kept runners off the bases. Meanwhile, the Gavilan pitchers were doing the opposite as they hit six Falcon batters and walked five, and with Rams' fielders committing four errors, fell behind 5-0 after five innings. The Rams managed to get two runs in the eighth to make it somewhat interesting before Falcon freshman Josh Winkler (who played third base in both games) came on in relief and shut them down in the ninth with two strikeouts. Aidan Malm and backup catcher Jack Rotteveel each had two hits in the game.
