For those that live on the Baseball field the old song about mother's telling us that there would be days like this clearly applied to last night’s loss to Briar Woods. Senior Jordan Taylor set the stage for the Falcon offense in his first AB ripping a double to right center on the 10th pitch of the AB. Junior Kyle Higgins followed with a frozen rope right at the Briar Woods First Basemen, who doubled Taylor off Second. The Falcon's hammered the ball all night, but the ball found ways to hop, skip and find base runners as the baseball Gods conspired to hold them to 5 runs on 10 hits. With a 5-2 lead going into the top of the 6th, it looked as though the boys from Fauquier would prevail anyway. In the top of the 6th, as the temperature plummeted and the wind increased Junior Max Winn struggled to find the strike zone and the Falcon outfielders fought to come up with wind battered baseballs allowing Briar Woods to score 5 runs to take a 7-5 lead that they would not relinquish.
Fauquier takes a misleading 3-3 record into Spring Break and District play where the surging offense and previously superb pitching and defense should make them a team to be reckoned with.
