After a long wait, Baseball Season is officially here. Here at Los Fresnos all eyes are on the PostSeason, especially after last year’s deep playoff run. The Falcons come into this season with high expectations.
Last Season throughout 32-6A, Los Fresnos remained consistent as only three losses were suffered to eventual District Champion Harlingen and San Benito. The Falcons who are led by Rene Morales look to repeat the success of the 2021 season. After knocking off PSJA in the Bi-District Round, the Falcons would rack up big wins against San Antonio Brennan in the Area round and Edinburg Vela in the Regional Quarterfinal. Los Fresnos then knocked out Powerhouse Round Rock in the Regional Semifinal before suffering a heartbreaking loss to Smithson Valley in the Regional Final. Los Fresnos would finish 2021 with a stellar overall record of 22-7-2 overall and 11-3 in District Play.
A returning core of key players that includes three seniors; Pitcher Mathew Padilla, outfielder Hector Muniz, First Baseman Juan Garica. Also returning for the Falcons is junior shortstop Joshua Munoz.
Los Fresnos will begin non-district play against Brownsville Pace on February 21st. Arguably a tough non-district schedule, some teams the Falcons will face this season include, San Antonio Harlan, Cedar Park, and coastal bend powerhouse Corpus Christi Carroll. The Falcons will then begin 32-6A competition on March 8th against San Benito. With a tough schedule overall, the Falcons look to make another deep run in the postseason.
