East River proved they can win big last Wednesday (they won by nine) and on Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Olympia Titans, sneaking past 4-2. For the Falcons, this counts as revenge for the 5-0 win the Titans walked away with the last time they faced one another back in February of 2021.
Chance Griffin looked comfortable as he tossed four innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Ty Kennedy, who went 3-for-4 with two doubles and one RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Jayden Vazquez, who scored a run while going 1-for-3.
