Fall ball is underway for the Fallon Hornets 13U. They participated in a tournament at the Golden Eagle Sports Complex on Saturday, Oct 5. It was a lot more physical for the players as the bases were set further apart. They went from 70 feet for their last two years to 80 feet now. The pitcher throws further as well, from 50 to 54 feet, and the entire field is larger. The players who constantly hit home runs in their previous years may not be as consistent at the beginning of this season. The 13U coaches must help keep the players in good physical condition to reduce possible injuries due to increased throwing, running, and batting distances.
The first matchup was between the Fallon Hornets and the Reno Northern Nevada Blue Aggies. Fallon would take the loss with a final score of 6-7.
