Âé¶čAV is coming off a series win over the Bells at Elks Stadium, capped off by a 15-14 victory Sunday night.
After Bellingham had scored three times in the top of the ninth to tie the game, the Falconsâ Taylor Wright provide the game-winning single in the bottom of the inning to end a wild, see-saw affair.
âWe have very similar lineups,â Falcons manager Bryan Donohue said. âEveryone was going out there and competing. Itâs funny how games like this can sometimes come together. I think the biggest thing for us is when the game calmed down. We were able to tag on a couple of big runs that ultimately put us in control.â
In Donohueâs opinion, the story of the night was Falcons reliever Ian Turner who picthed 5 2/3 innings of relief. âTurner extended himself longer than he had all summer. Itâs too bad we couldnât get the victory for him. We had a couple unlucky things happen late to prevent that. He was great for us.â
