The bottom of the first inning was extremely successful for the Falcons because they scored seven of their 10 runs in the first inning.
Alyssa Sotelo (playing second base for the Falcons’) started the bottom of the first inning with a single and Vicky Najera followed that up with a walk.
With runners on first and second base, Miranda Diaz (Falcons’ shortstop) walked. After the two walks and the bases loaded, Richere Leduc (playing first base for the Falcons’) singled through the left side, which was an RBI single.
Maddy Guillen (Falcons’ pitcher) also singled through the left side and had another RBI single and the score was now 2-0.
After Brooklyn Bedolla (playing third base for the Falcons’) popped out for the first out, Negasse Williams (Falcons’ left fielder) singled through the right side and was the third RBI single of the first inning.
The bases were loaded again and Angelica Gonzalez (Falcons’ right fielder) walked, resulting in another RBI for the Falcons.

During the bottom of the second inning, with one on base with one out, Bedolla homered to left center, bringing the score to 9-0 Falcons.
