Falcons have 3-0 start
Pitching, hitting solid for Coudersport

Coudersport finally opened its high school baseball season after a two-week delay due to weather.

The Falcons debuted with a dramatic 9-7 win over Johnsonburg last Thursday. Brian Wetzel quieted the potent Ram bats after relieving starter Bret Metzger. Wetzel yielded two hits and fanned six over the final three innings to pick up the win.

Junior Brett Whitman homered in his first at-bat of the season. Sophomore Andrew Mickle delivered a pair of timely hits, including a sixthinning single that plated what proved to be the winning run. Wetzel added two hits and two RBI.

Whitman and Adam Dow combined on a one-hitter and the Falcon bats were booming in a 17-0 win over Northern Potter on Monday.

Metzger stroked three hits, while Whitman and Colton Corey each had a pair.

Coudersport improved to 3- 0 Wednesday night with a 15-0 win over visiting Otto-Eldred. Metzger pitched a three-hit shutout, fanning 11. Whitman had four hits and two RBI, while Adam Foust cracked a pair of doubles.

The Falcons led 8-0 after two innings and coasted.
