ROTH FANS 11; FALCONS FLY OVER LAKESIDE

AUSTINTOWN, OH- There’s only one issue for Joe Roth nowadays; what position does he want to be known for?  Roth continued his dominant season on the mound on Friday with 11 strikeouts of Lakeside en route to an 8-2 victory.

It was a typical Northeastern Ohio weather day, where the climate would change in the blink of an eye, but Falcon bats were able to stay hot in the midst of a big week for the team.  Fitch would again strike for double-digits in the hit column led by multi-hit performances from Derrick Franken, Brandon Popio, and  Mikey Sciortino.  Popio would propel Fitch with his game-high 2 RBI night.
