Falcons Drop Game 2

Chris Castellanos kept the Falcons hitters off balance, and Lars Rider struck out the side in the 9th as the Falcons dropped the middle game against Cowlitz with a 5-2 loss.

The Black Bears got 3 runs off of Curtis Taylor, 1 each in 3 straight innings, as they scratched and clawed their way around the bases.

An RBI single from Hank Loforte in the 3rd, a run-scoring double play in the 4th, and a SAC FLY in the 5th would give Cowlitz a 3-0 lead.

The Black Bears added a run in the 7th off of Jayse Bannister, and another in the 8th off of Jared Morton for the victory.

Taylor moved to 2-1 on the season, while the Falcons mark dropped to 15-8.
