Jonathan Bermudez broke out going 3-3 with an RBI, but it wasn't enough as UT Permian Basin fell to Adams State 5-2.
Â
The Falcons (5-5) had runners reach first and second in each of the first two innings but were unable to get a run across either time. Things were scoreless until the third after the Grizzlies (3-11) put together a two-out rally to score the game's first run.
Â
The game would stay that way until the fifth when the Falcons would get on the board. Bermudez opened the frame with a single to left and would get bunted over to second. He'd advance to third on a ground ball before
Pemron Burrows walked with two-out.Â
William Bierlein singled to drive him in and tie the score.Â
Â
The game would remain tied until the seventh when the Grizzlies would score on a ground ball and retake the lead. They would add three more in their half of the eighth to make it a 5-1 ballgame.Â
Â
The Falcon offense would not go down quietly.Â
Dalton Castillo opened the inning with a double over the head of the left fielder.Â
Gabriel Melendez hit a laser into the left field corner to score Castillo.Â
Tyler Vlasek would follow with a single of his own advancing Melendez to third. Bermudez would drive in Melendez on a deep fly ball to center and make it 5-3. That's all the Falcons would get and the game would end in a 5-3 final.
Â
Bermudez led the offense going 3-3 with a double, RBI and run scored. Burrows continued over from his three hit game yesterday with a pair of hits while Melendez also added a pair of hits.Â
Joshua Gonzales started for the Falcons retiring the first eight batters while
Cale Thornton threw 2.1 innings in relief allowing just one hit.
Â
The Falcons are back in action later this week when they take on West Texas A&M in a four-game weekend series starting on Friday.
