Indians Fall 2-1 to Cypress Lake in Tight Baseball Bout
Venice High’s Indians dropped a 2-1 decision to Cypress Lake as both teams struggled with errors and miscues. Junior Kevin Faulkner took the loss in his first 1981 start, allowing two unearned runs over four and two thirds innings, while Alan Hixon closed for Venice. Cypress Lake’s two runs came on a costly error-filled fifth inning, while Venice managed only four hits and squandered chances in the late frames. Venice next plays Fort Myers at 7:30 p.m.
