The Pottsgrove Falcons will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against the Oley Valley Lynx at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Pottsgrove is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They took a 7-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of Exeter Township on Thursday. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it 11 in a row.
Luke Tyson was cooking despite his team's loss, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two doubles, one stolen base, and one run. Luca Pennisi was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base.
Meanwhile, Oley Valley didn't have quite enough to beat Pequea Valley on Friday and fell 4-3.
Timothy Fries put in work while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Furthermore, he didn't allow a single walk, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in April of 2025. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three stolen bases and one RBI. Fries is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: he's snagged at least one every time he's taken the field this season.
Fries wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Gryffin Cappellano, who went 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI.
Pottsgrove might still be hurting after the 9-0 loss they got from Oley Valley in their previous matchup back in March of 2025. Will the Falcons have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other baseball content.
