The turbulent start to the Kelowna Falconsº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™ 2019 season continues after a loss to the Yakima Valley Pippins Monday night.

In game one of the three-game series, the Falcons were unable to hold on to an early lead and let the Pippins come soaring back to take a 6-4 win.

Kelowna recorded 10 hits during the contest, but were unable to continue the winning streak after an extra innings win against Victoria on Sunday.

The Pippinsº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™ bats came alive in the fourth inning on Monday night recording five-runs and sending nine batters to the plate. It proved too much for the Falcons as the offence couldnº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™t mount a comeback in the final innings and the defence was unable to hold off the Pippinsº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™ bat when they tacked on their insurance run in the eighth inning.
