The scorekeeper got an easy start on Tuesday as neither Suncoast nor Jensen Beach made it on the board until the seventh inning. The Chargers fell just short of the Falcons by a score of 2-1. The Chargers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Falcons apparently hadn't forgotten their loss the last time these teams played back in April of 2025.
Charlie Straub was a force to be reckoned with on the mound despite the final result: he tossed six innings while giving up just one earned run off eight hits.
On the hitting side, Suncoast saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Guy Chityat, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI. That stolen base marked the first that Chityat has snagged this season.
This is the second loss in a row for Suncoast and nudges their season record down to 3-5. Even worse, they were so close both times: the defeats came by an average of only one runs. As for Jensen Beach, the win (which was their fourth in a row) raised their record to 6-3.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Suncoast will head out to challenge Dr. Joaquin Garcia at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Chargers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Bulldogs have averaged an impressive 7.6 runs per game this season. As for Jensen Beach, they are taking a road trip to take on Benjamin at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Buccaneers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.44 runs per game on average), something the Falcons will no doubt try to take advantage of.
