Congratulations to the Varsity Baseball Team who are 2A Regional Champions!
On Saturday, May 16, Falcons Baseball went to Estes Park for regional playoffs. Competing that day were Estes Park (#4 seed), Crowley Country (#13 seed), FRCS (#20 seed) and Meeker (#29 seed).
Estes Park played first and beat Meeker 9-5. Then FRCS played Crowley County and FRCS won 13-1. Then the last game of the day was Estes Park vs FRCS. Haedan Morton pitched an amazing game, and FRCS held on to make it a thrilling 4-3 win to take the Regional Championship.
Your Falcons now move on to the State Tournament in Pueblo at Runyon Park, where they are the #8 seed. The tournament is a double elimination tournament and happens the week of May 22-23 and May 29-30 (scroll down for the location and schedule).
Go, Falcons!
