LANGLEY - South Whidbey's losing streak continues after a 7-6 loss to Sultan in extra innings Monday afternoon.

Falcon junior pitcher Jack Lewis threw a complete game, then some. A four-run rally in the fourth inning almost sealed the game for the visiting Turks.

The Falcons roared back with a tying-RBI double to the right-center field fence in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Sultan scored in the eighth, however, and Turk relief pitcher Jay Leverett got the final three outs to clinch the victory.
