San Diego Prep Baseball : Fallbrook’s Home Runs Lead 7-1 Win

Home runs by Bill Dunkle and Anthony Reynoso Friday afternoon broke open a close game and led Fallbrook High School to a 7-1 win over Oceanside in the Goodman-Pirate Tournament at Oceanside.

Fallbrook (3-0) was leading, 2-1, when Dunkle led off the top of the sixth with a homer. Later in the inning, Reynoso hit a three-run shot to make it 6-1. T.J. Flynn homered in the seventh for the Warriors’ final run.

Dunkle and Flynn each finished with three hits and Reynoso added two to lead a 10-hit attack.

Fallbrook pitchers Joe Comer and John Lane limited Oceanside (1-2) to four hits.

“It was a great game until the sixth inning,” Oceanside Coach Dave Barrett said. “I changed pitchers because my starter looked tired. The next thing I knew, they had two homers and four more runs, and we were out of it.

“It’s one of those things that you can always second-guess. But that’s what makes baseball such a great game. Of course, it can drive you crazy, too.”
