For the second time this season, SLF was called out for hitting a home run in the first inning, but the rest of the Falcons picked him up and went on to complete the sweep of the home-and-home versus the Tranquility A's with a decisive 27-11 victory on K2 Field at Maypo Yards on a scorching Sunday afternoon.Just like on Friday night, the A's were using the help of Xtreme's Drew Ash(Falconswanna)bee, and for the second game in a row, their short staff was apparent. This game was a defensive struggle for both teams, as in, the defence struggled. The A's answered the Falcons' big top of the first with a six-spot of their own, and the slugfest was on. The Falcons weren't able to secure a shutdown inning until the 5th, with the A's putting up 11 runs in the process.
The weather was hot, and so were the Falcons' bats. They've won two in a row after coming off their second 3 game losing streak of the year, and started off the second half of the season with a bang.
Pregame Checklist:
Enough players to field a team? ...Eventually!Bats?Scoresheet?Up Next For The Falcons: With the list of remaining games now shorter than the list of played games, the Falcons will focus on making up the 7 game deficit behind the juggernaut 20-1 The Storm, beginning with a visit to Rebelville on Tuesday night at 9:30 on K2 Field at Maypo Yards. Doncha dare miss it!
Cycle Watch: The last time a Falcon hit for the cycle was May 19, 2010. Today, no one was close.

You all suck!
Some of you suck at putting the bases in, some of you suck at getting the third base dugout... back when I was your age "suck" was something the Hoover did...

What a bunch of political correctness. In my day there were no euphemisms. If we sucked Junior told us we sucked, usually by yelling across the field. If we made a great play, Junior told us we sucked, usually by yelling across the field.

Well you had it lucky.
We had to get to the game at ten o'clock at night half an hour before the previous game ended, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, play for twenty-nine hours, go 5 for 4 at the plate using an old broom handle because we couldn�t lift Dennis' 96 ounce bat and pay Junior for permission to play and when the game was over Junior would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah. But you try and tell that to the young players of today and they won't believe you.
