Collin Fabio and Garret Thornton continued their unbelievable starts to the 2021 season on Sunday against Texas A&M International.  Fabio's solo home run in the first inning was his second of the year, while Thornton is now hitting a team-high .462 through three games.  The duo combined for six hits and three RBI on the afternoon.
 
Fabio got the action going early for the Falcons with another opposite field home run in the first inning.  He added another RBI in the seventh with a single up the middle to bring home Joe Allen IV.  Thornton followed with a single of his own to drive home Pemron Burrows.  That's all the Falcon offense could put together on the afternoon, as the Dustdevils scored six in the third inning and led by as many as 11 in the 12-3 final. 
 
Burrows was kept off the bases most of the afternoon but reached on a walk in the seventh before scoring his fifth run of the year.  Fabio now has a team-high six RBI on the young season.  The Falcon bullpen only allowed two earned over the final seven innings.  Paul McRae, Austin Lee, and Luis Dominguez all threw scores outings out of the bullpen. 
 
The Falcons return to action next weekend for a three-game road series against Texas A&M – Kingsville.  The series starts Friday night at 6 PM.  For the latest schedule and news download the UTPB Athletics App today.
