Falcons lose at Sac City despite Rickles’ two home runs

A mid-day deluge and lightning storm couldn't stop the FLC women's softball team from playing their scheduled game at Sacramento City College on Tuesday afternoon, although the Panthers came out on top 7-3.  Falcon shortstop McKenna Rickles continued her hot hitting as she became the first Falcon softball player to hit two home runs in one game, accounting for all three FLC runs.  The Falcons took a 2-1 lead on the first of Rickles' homers in the third inning, but the Panthers quickly responded with four runs in their half of the inning.  Rickles' solo homer in the seventh - her third hit of the day – raised her team-leading batting average to .392.  

The Falcons will host Yuba College – weather permitting – for a non-conference game on Thursday afternoon at Falcon Diamond at 4:00 pm.
