After a pair of 8-7 wins on Monday and Tuesday, the Falcons beat the Lefties 9-6 last night.
The Falcons bats exploded in the final two innings scoring five runs in a comeback win. Down by a pair heading into the eighth, the visitors showed great character getting RBI hits from Taylor Wright, Davis Todsichuk and Bo Meiklejohn to take the lead.
After Jake Roes made his Falcons debut out of the pen and shutdown the Lefties, the offence continued to work. In the top of the ninth they tacked on two more runs. Chris Arpan knocked in Jake Malone before Wright scored on a Connor Gurnik fielder91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™s choice.
The nine runs scored was an offensive high for the Falcons this season. Malone tallied three hits and drove in a pair of runs, as did Meiklejohn on two hits.
Starter Niall Windeler threw seven innings, giving up six runs on nine hits while striking out three. Roes collects the win after throwing two innings of shutout ball and Braydon Price locked down the game with a save.
