The Kelowna Falcons continued to roll on Sunday nights as they knocked off the Walla Walla Sweets 5-4 at Elks Stadium.
Brady Miller would work 6 innings for Kelowna, picking up his 4th victory of the season, as he allowed just 1 earned run and 3 hits in his outing.
The Falcons got on the board in the 2nd inning as Brandon Grimsley and Kyle Plantier each had RBI singles back to back with a pair of outs on the board.
Kelowna made it 3-0 in the 5th when Hunter Villanueva picked up a Sac Fly to score Grimsley, who finished with 3 hits.
Walla Walla got a pair in the 6th off of Miller after an error and 3 wild pitches to make it 3-2.
The Falcons jumped back out ahead with 2 more in the 6th when Justin Flores singled and Andre Jackson drove in another with a Sac Fly.
The Sweets would not go away putting another deuce up on the board against Alex Webb on 3 straight hits, including two doubles.
Dalton Blackwell worked a scoreless 9th inning for his 5th save.
Other highlights for Kelowna included Brandon Oliver throwing out 4 baserunners in the first 5 innings, erasing any thought the Sweets had of scoring early.
The Falcons head out on the road to Wenatchee to take on the AppleSox in the first of 6 straight ballgames Monday. Kelowna leads the WCL East Division by 4 games over Yakima Valley.
