It was a shame someone had to lose Thursday night’s game at the Falcon Athletic Complex. But in baseball, there has to be a winner and there has to be a loser. Wil Libbert of Blair Oaks and Max Buscher of Fatima pitched scoreless inning after scoreless inning through seven innings in a pitchers’ duel between the two district foes. Libbert hit his pitch-count limit in the top of the eighth, while Buscher was able to pitch a complete game.
With second place in the Tri-County Conference on the line, it wasn’t the Blair Oaks Falcons’ best effort Tuesday night, but it was enough to get the win at the Falcon Athletic Complex. The California Pintos led through the first two innings, but Blair Oaks scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth to pull out a 6-4 win.
