Falcon Baseball Wins First Seven

A season ago, FC/L baseball won its seventh game of the season on May 20.  On April 27, in just seven games this season, the Falcons have gotten to seven wins.  Pitching was the key in wins five and six.  Cole Schwichtenberg tossed a complete game shut-out (4 H, 4 K, 0 BB, Win) in an 11-0 win over R-P.  An 8-run seventh broke open a 3-0 game.  Collin Scott (3-4, RBI, 2 R), Josh Peters (3-4, RBI, R), and Logan Corson (3-5, RBI, 2 R) each had three hits, Cody Schoenemann (1-3) three RBI.  Ben Ansell (2-3) had half of R-P’s hits.  Scott then took the mound versus GMLOK.   He pitched a one-hitter (6 IP, 2 BB, 2 K, Win), giving up a first inning unearned run, setting down eleven straight to end the game. Bulldog pitching walked eight. FC/L posted an 11-1 (six inning) win.  Schwichtenberg (3-3, 3B, RBI, 2 R), Colten Kraling (2-4, two 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R) brought the biggest bats.  J-Peters (2-3, RBI) and Schoenemann (1-3, 2 RBI) helped.  Zach Myrhe (1-2, RBI) led the Bulldogs.  On a frigid night, the hot Falcons used walks, errors, and hits to dispatch D-E 18-2 in five.  Corson (3-4, 2B, 2 RBI, 3 R), Walker Ward (2-3, 2B, 3 RBI, R), Schwichtenberg (2-3, 2B, 3 RBI, 2 R), Scott (2-3, 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R), and Riley Means (2-4, RBI, 3 R) had multiple hits.  Corson (3 2/3 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 4 K) got a relief-win.  FC/L finally lost to end the week.  Versus #15 (AA) St. Charles, a 6-run Saint fifth led to a 9-4 win.  Scott (2-4, 2 RBI), Kraling (2-4, RBI), and Schwichtenberg (2-4, 2B, R) led FC/L.  Keith Larson’s team (6-1, 7-0), who’ve received state votes, trail #17 Caledonia (7-0, 8-1) in the TRC-East.
