The Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ High baseball team leveraged a big fifth inning to break away for an 11-4 victory over La Salle on Tuesday at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown!
The Falcons trailed early until Seamas LeBuis tied the score at 2-2 with a single in the fourth. The Falcons then exploded for five runs in the fifth, highlighted by Chase Solomon's two-run single, to take a 7-2 lead.
The Falcons totaled 12 hits on the day, led by Colin Paulsen's 3-for-5 performance at the plate. Alexander Dixon and Alexander Rizzo both had multiple hits, and Haywood Williams-Watson drove in three runs.
LeBuis started on the hill for the Falcons and had a stellar performance. He gave up four hits and three runs -- only one earned -- while striking out eight and walking three over five innings. Paul Grabowski came on in relief to help close out the victory.
Come cheer on our Falcons on Friday at Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ's Plumeri Sports Complex as they face off against Schenectady. First pitch is at 7 p.m. and we will honor our seniors prior to the start of the game.
