On the other side of the ball the Falcons were led by Matthew WheelerMatthew Murphy, and Gary Magner on the mound.

He also had one of the best performances on the mound this season when he went 8 innings in a hard-fought win over Orange. Matt Murphy also had some great starts this season that led to him having the lowest era on the team at 4.41, in the team's first playoff game Murphy toed the rubber and worked into the 6th inning. Gary Magner threw 18 innings this season only walking 3 people and was also able to keep the Orange bats at bay in a game the Falcons won 6-5, Magner went 6 innings to get the win.  

Dutchess had 10 sophomores on the team who played their final games for the Falcons, a big thank you is in order for them all as they fought hard during their seasons as Falcons and that will never be forgotten. Thank you to Joe Destefano, Shane Heinemann, Gary Magner, Kevin Martino, Matthew Murphy, Thomas Roselli, Vincent Schara, Tyler VanDeBogart, Andre Vasquez, and Matthew Wheeler. A big thank you is also needed to all of the fans that came out to support this year, we hope to see you next Spring for another season of Dutchess Baseball.
