The Air Force baseball team is making headlines for its incredibly patriotic gameday social media graphics. Every time the Falcons score a run, followers are hit with a barrage of America themed visuals to celebrate the feat.
No surprise coming from the program sporting the hashtag #AmericasTeam, and college baseball fans are absolutely loving it!
It’s been a theme since season’s start, most recently seen in a midweek matchup with SEC foe Auburn. While the Falcons fell to the Tigers 8-4, they wouldn’t go down without a fight, and the social media team let it be known!
Air Force plated a run on an RBI single in the ninth inning to cut that deficit to four runs. An in-game update was then posted online.
Chris Stallings. His second RBI single of the afternoon. Not an ounce of quit in the dugout.

What better way to commemorate an accomplishment than with images of fighter jets and military choppers?!
College baseball followers were quick to comment on social media, including some of the sport’s most notable personalities.
“Gotta be the most patriotic RBI single post I’ve ever seen,” said former UVA pitcher Stephen Schoch.
Others shared that sentiment.
“This is the most incredible graphic I’ve ever seen.”
“America!”
The Falcons are scoring around five runs a game, giving the social media team ample opportunity to flash the graphic to followers.
Unfortunately for supporters of the program, Air Force is just 4-8 through 12 baseball games. That said, they’ve already faced some of the nation’s top competition, including Auburn, Mississippi State, and Southern Miss.
They also landed bragging rights over Navy with a three-game sweep, though they fell in a midweek matchup to Army earlier this year.
The Falcons will take on San Jose State this weekend. Be on the lookout for more of these patriotic graphics!
