After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Tualatin, La Salle was happy to have turned things around on Thursday. They skirted past the Central Panthers 5-3. For the Falcons, this counts as revenge for the 6-4 win the Panthers walked away with the last time they faced one another back in May of 2019.
Declan O'Brien spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on six hits and racked up seven Ks.
On the hitting side, La Salle saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kiernan Kelly, who went 1-for-3 with one double and one RBI. Jack Schweitzer also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
