In recent memory, FC/L baseball’s regular seasons have been an “eh,” but their post-season’s a “wow.” This year’s regular campaign is starting differently. Courtesy of a 3-0 week, FC/L is yet to be defeated. They beat M-C 18-3 in five. Samuel Peters (4-4, two 2Bs, 3 RBI, 2 R), Walker Ward (3-4, two 2Bs, 5 RBI, 2 R), and Riley Means (3-3, 2B, 3 R) led the offense. Senior lefty Colten Kraling (5 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 8 K, 2-3, 2B, R) got the win. Logan Richardson (1-3, 2B, RBI, R) took the loss. Frank Jaszweski Park then opened its new press/stands area versus Cotter. In the bottom of the seventh, with it 3-3, FC/L loaded the bases. Cole Schwichtenberg singled in Josh Peters for the dramatic 4-3 win. S-Peters (2-2, RBI, R), Means (2-3, 3B, R), and J-Peters (2-3, R) did the hitting. Collin Scott (6 IP, 10 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, ND) and Logan Corson (1 IP, Win) worked the mound. FC/L then travelled to Southland. S-Peters gave up a first inning Bret Matthews 2-run home run, then just two hits. A Falcon two-run third tied things. Ward’s first varsity home run (3-run shot in the sixth) was the game-securing hit. FC/L prevailed 6-2. S-Peters (7 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 8 K) got the win (2-0). Corson (3-4, 2 R), Ward (1-2, HR, 3 RBI, R), Means (2-4, 2B, 2 RBI), and Scott (2-4, 2 R) brought their bats. Southland had beat FC/L (at least) 20-straight times (2006-2016). Keith Larson’s team (3-0, 4-0) is off to their best start in over a decade.
