Fighting Falcon 10, Apostles 9 (13)




It was a great rubber game to a great series! Fairfax battled back all game, finally pulling out the victory in the 13th. All three "new" Apostle relievers gave up a home run to give the lead back to the Fighting Falcon.

Fuentes gave up a HR to Beltre in the 5th. Neshek gave up a HR to Duncan in the 7th and Wheeler gave up a HR to Patterson in the 13th to end it.

There were great defensive plays throughout the game, including a 1-19 blocked plate by Molina. Also, back-to-back doubles were robbed by Faixfax defenders in extra innings by guarding the lines!

Fairfax takes the series 2-1.

Adrian Beltre slammed a homerun and had 4 RBI as the Fairfax Fighting Falcon
beat the Saint Gabriel Apostles in 13 innings by a score of 10 to 9.

The score was knotted at 9 after nine innings. Fairfax came out the victor in
the 13th inning. After an out was recorded, Corey Patterson hit a
bases-empty home run (his 6th of the season) giving Fairfax the win much to
the delight of the home town crowd. This was a game of many highs and lows
for the home town fans, as the lead kept changing - 7 times in all.

Brad Hennessey(2-3) got credit for the victory, pitching 1 inning and allowing
no runs. Dan Wheeler(1-1) was given the loss in relief.
