Box Score Ottawa, Kan. - Friends University baseball was handed another loss in a Sunday matinee (Feb. 15) against the Ottawa Braves (RV). The Braves would complete the sweep as their offense was too much for the Falcons pitching. 

The first two innings from both sides showed no runs. In the 2nd Friends and Ottawa would leave 2 runners on as both pitching staffs would get out of jams. In the 3rd inning the Braves would hit a grand slam to put them up 4-0 in the bottom half of the 3rd. A sacrifice fly from Ottawa would put them up 5-0 after four innings.

Going into the 6th inning the Falcons still would not put up a run offensively. This was the story of the Falcons offense this weekend, untimely hitting for the Falcons in this series. In the bottom of the 6th the Braves would put up 3 more runs to bring their lead up to eight. 

In the 9th inning the Falcons would avoid the shutout after an RBI Sac Fly from Elijah Joseph. Holden Sabor would follow with an RBI single to try and ignite a miraculous comeback. Hudson Sharp would be the last of the Falcons offense driving home Elijah Morales with a single. Before scoring the 3 runs in the 9th, the Falcons would leave 13 runners on base. The final score of this game would be 8-3 with the Falcons showing some fight late in the game.

In a forgettable series the Falcons will drop to (4-6) KCAC (0-3). Friends will look to turn this four game skid around against No. 19 Mid-America Christian University. This solo nine inning game will be held at Westside Athletic Field on Tuesday (Feb. 17) at 4:00 PM.
