It turned out to be a wild back and forth contest in Suisun City on Tuesday, with the Beavers using 9 pitchers in 10 innings to pull out an 8-7 victory to pull even at 3-3 on the season.  The Beavers struck first by scoring in the third inning as freshman RF Brandon Pelechowicz (Yuba City) reached on a two-out error by the Falcons SS, allowing sophomore 1B Lance Sabatke (River City) to score.  After sophomore RHP Ethan Palumbo (Antelope) completed a scoreless first three innings, the Falcons tied the game in the 4^th with a run off of freshman RHP Zach Laduzinski (Whitney).  ARC re-took the lead in the 5^th inning as Sabatke singled in a run, followed by a run scoring triple to right center by Pelechowicz to put the Beavers up 3-1.  Sophomore LF Jackson Nichols (Valley Christian) then doubled off the left field fence to score Pelechowicz.  Solano fought back however, scoring in the bottom of the 5^th to close the gap to two runs.  Solano scored four runs in the 6^th inning to take a 6-4 lead.  It was looking grim for ARC, who weren't able to get much going on offense until the 9^th off the Falcons closer.  It started with sophomore C Eli Campbell (Cordova) lacing a single to left.  He stole second and advanced to third as the throw sailed into centerfield.  Sophomore SS Bryce Sabatke (River City) then singled in Campbell to make the score 6-5.  After Lance Sabatke bunted his brother over to second, sophomore All-American Dylan Westbrook (Oak Ridge) singled up the middle to score Sabatke to tie the game.  The game went into the 10^th inning and sophomore 1B Jose Vega (Highlands) led off with a walk.  He was bunted over to 2^nd by sophomore C Grant Fletcher (Yuba City).  Sophomore 3B Luke Haney (Oak Ridge) followed with a single to right but it was not able to bring home Vega.  Haney stole second to put runners at 2^nd and 3^rd with one out.  Eli Campbell then doubled down the 3B line for his third hit of the day putting the Beavers up 8-6.  Freshmen Ethan Massi (Pleasant Grove) and Brandon Pelechowicz combined to close out the 10^th, though the Falcons did score with two outs to make the game close. 

The two teams will conclude their two-game series at Beaver Field at 2:00 on Thursday to end the 2026 version of the ARC/Solano Challenge.
