Box Score
Loch Sheldrake, NY- The long awaited home opener did not go Sullivan's way in what was the nicest weather day of the year for the Generals. A 1-1 game in the 5th inning was broke open by a 5-run top half of the inning, highlighted by a Dutchess grand slam to make the score 6-1. With the score 7-3 entering the ninth, the Falcons put a 4 spot to seal the game. Fr RHP Bryant Gomez (Bronx, NY, Kingsbridge International) drops to 1-2 on the year despite a gutsy effort keeping the Generals within striking distance. Gomez went 8 innings allowing 12, 7 R, 6 ER, 4 K, 4 BB. 

Offensively FR 1B/3B Bryan De Aza (Bronx, NY, Cardinal Hayes) continued to swing a hot bat going 2-for-2 with a 2B, RBI and 2 BB.
