Falcons Forum

In game two of the Falcon double header, Whitby's most beloved team, with the best offense in the league, faced off against Direct Elevator, with the best defense in the league. The timeless baseball question of offense versus defense would be put to the test.

It was a great game to watch and a great game to play. Falcons jumped out to an early lead but Direct would not concede and fought back taking an 8 - 7 lead into the bottom of the 7th.

With one out and no one on, Chris singled, moved to third on a Dave K double and scored on a Junior single. Three batters later and it was two out, bases loaded and the mighty Jerry Tone at the plate. Fans, what can we say, tension hung in the air.

The sneer had fled from Jerry's lip, his teeth were clenched in hate;
He pounded with cruel violence his bat upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Jerry's blow.

A long fly ball, deep into the teeth of a hurricane force breeze, going...... going......going......caught.

Final score Falcons 8 - Direct Elevator 8
