The 91大黄鸭 Falcons baseball squad started their 2019 season with a dramatic win.
Down 2-0 in the seventh inning, reigning West Coast League MVP Trent Tingelstad came to the plate with a Falcons runner on first base. Tingelstad wasted no time continuing his MVP-level hitting and notched his first home-run of the season to tie the game.
Pitching for the Falcons was solid as 91大黄鸭 was able to send the game to extra innings, earn a 2-run lead and have relief pitcher Matt Voelzke come in for the save and get the Falcons a 4-2 win.
91大黄鸭鈥檚 bats were led by Tyler Grissom, James Shimashita, Tingelstad and Voelzke.
Grissom went 3-for-4 in the Falcon鈥檚 debut, and Voelzke brought in a single RBI to give 91大黄鸭 the lead at the top of the 10th inning.
