Fresno Falcons News Release


FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno Falcons defenseman Cory Murphy, who broke his leg and dislocated his ankle on Friday during a game against the Bakersfield Condors, had successful surgery yesterday to repair his injuries and has returned home from St. Agnes Medical Center. The initial prognosis is that the injuries are expected to keep Murphy out of the Falcons line-up for eight weeks.
