Fairfield, Calif. - The Solano baseball team fell in its season-opening twinbill to Sierra on Saturday. 

The Falcons came up short in the first game, 4-3, in eight innings, and dropped an 8-5 decision in the second game.

In the first game, Sierra took an early 2-0 lead in the third before freshman Jason Pridy came into the game in the seventh, hitting a two-run shot to knot things up and force extras. The Falcons were able to tack on a run in the bottom of the eighth, but the rally fell short as Sierra counted a pair of runs in the top half of the frame.

Freshman Josh Petrill (0-1) was charged with the loss, throwing 2.0 innings in relief. Freshman Richard Mealey started the game for Solano on the mound, fanning 10.

In the second game, freshman Nathan Jessell recorded the team's lone multi-hit game, earning a pair of RBI. Freshman Jimmy Larson also chalked up a couple of RBI, while freshman Leon Ancheta-Garcia pinch hit the team's only other multi-base hit with a double in the bottom of the seventh.

Sophomore David Reckers (0-1) was the pitcher of record after allowing the go-ahead run in the sixth inning.

Solano (0-2) heads to Diablo Valley next on Thursday, Apr. 15 for a 2:30 p.m. first pitch.
