Flanagan hasn't had much luck against Stoneman Douglas recently, but that could start to change on Wednesday. It'll be a Battle of the Birds when Flanagan Falcons take on Stoneman Douglas Eagles at 6:00 p.m. The last four games Flanagan has played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
While Flanagan's victory against Dr. Krop wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. Flanagan had just enough and edged out Dr. Krop 6-4.
Caden Corzo was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (two). He was also big at the plate, getting no hits from his three at bats. He also put up an RBI, which was his first of the season.
In other pitching news, Flanagan got a great performance from Ethan Cabrera as he struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits. Cabrera has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.
