The Graham Falcons topped the Lynchburg-Clay Mustangs 4-1 on Saturday at Canal Park in Akron in the D5 state semifinals game.
The game was postponed after two innings Friday night due to rain, with the Falcons leading the Mustangs 2-0.
Adam Levy singled down the right field line, and Breyton Reisinger grounded into a fielder’s choice, each scoring one run.
Nearly 24 hours later, the boys took the field again to finish what they started.
Adam Levy led the way both on the mound and at the plate, setting the aggressive example the Falcons followed all season long.
Levy pitched five innings in relief for Graham, allowing seven hits and one run while striking out eight and walking three.
The Falcons’ attitude of attacking while running the bases and swinging the bat now has the Falcons poised for their first state championship since 1973.
The Falcons face the Waynedale Golden Bears out of Apple Creek, OH, for the Division 5 state championship in Akron on Sunday, first pitch is at 7.
