Playing under sunny skies and temperatures in the high 40's, the Falcons kicked off their 2008 intramural season yesterday and by games end left no doubt that we are in for one heck of a competitive season this year.

As would be expected, to a player the Falcons seemed to be in great condition and playing at mid season form already.

The Flyers were lead by Cadet Second Class Tyler Perry who pitched one of the best games in the history of the Academy. Perry struck out 10 in route to throwing the first no hitter of his storied career as a Falcon.

Along with Perry, Cadet Fourth Class Michael Oliver came ready to play yesterday and chipped in 2 RBI's to go along with a run scored. Oliver also received the games Talon Award following several spectacular plays at first base. When asked to comment about his first Coed game Oliver said " it's definitely slow pitch but it was pretty fun."

Following yesterday's game it was announced that the winner of the Spring League at the Academy will be offered a shot at taking on America's team the Apples. "It's the least we can do to help the cause " said AGFHOF Don Bernitt as he extended the offer via satellite phone to the Academy. " We look forward to kicking their butts " added Bernitt.
