The Falcons baseball team fell to the Youngstown State Penguins 3-1 on Tuesday afternoon. The team has had trouble scoring runs at home so far this season, getting a total of five through three games.
“The guys do great in [batting practice]; I just wish that somehow, someway we could figure it out,” Falcons head coach Danny Schmitz said. “But it seems like, as soon as the umpire says ‘play ball’, we forget everything we just worked on, and that’s been going on for quite some time.”
Most of the first half of the game went scoreless, as freshman pitcher Chandler Stillings for the Falcons and senior pitcher Javier Alvarez for Youngstown State had shutouts going through the first four innings.
