If Menendez was feeling good fresh off their 10-4 takedown of Bradford last Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Falcons lost 12-2 to the Clay Blue Devils on Thursday. The Falcons were not able to make up for their loss to the Blue Devils from their previous meeting back in May of 2022.
Menendez saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ben Norton, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with one run.
Menendez has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-8 record this season. As for Clay, their win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-7.
Looking ahead, Menendez will venture away from home to square off against Rickards at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Raiders have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.67 runs per game on average), something the Falcons will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Clay, they didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next game, a 12-0 defeat against Jesuit on the 20th.
