FALCONS FAIL

Boggstown – The Fogelberg Falcons fell flat last night as they dropped all three games against the Boggstown Boilers at Lightfoot Field. Poor pitching and a lack of offense sealed the sweep at the hands of their rivals and all but sealed up the American League crown for the Boilers. Huge nights from Ty Cobb, Johnny Mize, George Brett and the Boilers pitching staff seemed to set the tone for the evening and be too much for the Falcons to handle.

A visually distraught, but calm Don Zimmer sat down at the post game press conference, “Yeah, tonight was tough… We had a job to do and a vision and plan of how we wanted to execute it. It didn’t work out tonight … It’s not like there were no positives for us. Game one was real close and we had a genuine chance to win it. Game two was our best offensive output of the season. Our pitching wasn’t bad against what I feel is the best offensive team in the league and our defense was top notch… We played that team tough this season, sure it hasn’t worked out our way just yet, but a few things fall differently tonight and we leave here with two wins.”

Now standing at 4-5 on the year and looking at a playoff match-up against the Joplin Crawdads, the Falcons have 3 games remaining in the regular season.
