Elmira Falcons Baseball 2-3 Douglas

A tight pitcher's duel on Tuesday afternoon saw Elmira baseball come up just short against visiting Douglas, falling 3-2 in non-league action at home.

The Falcons entered the contest riding high with a 5-1 record, but Douglas managed to scratch across three runs to edge out the victory in what proved to be a defensive battle throughout.

Elmira answered with two runs of their own but couldn't find the timely hit needed to push across the tying or go-ahead run in the later innings. The loss drops the Falcons to 5-2 on the season, still maintaining a strong start to their 2026 campaign.

While the defeat stings, Elmira showed they can compete in tight games against quality opposition. The pitching staff kept the team in contention throughout, and the offense generated enough scoring chances to suggest better results ahead.

The Falcons will look to bounce back quickly as they continue building toward league play, with their early-season success providing a solid foundation for the challenges ahead.
