Falcons Continue Hot Streak with Extra-Inning Win
Falcons Field was rocking after an exciting Falcons win.

In a close game at Falcons Field, the Newark Falcons edged the Cape Canaveral Launch, 5-4. Newark first baseman Tony Leslie stood apart with his performance. He was 2 for 5 with a home run and was hit by a pitch, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The second-place Launch have lost 4 consecutive games.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 11th. With two out, Leslie hit a fastball from Ietsuna Ohayashi for a run-scoring single. The Falcons, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"The fans pay the tickets and help us do what we do, so we like to put on a show for them," Leslie told the Newark Daily.
