Greeneville came out swinging in this one and had four runs on the board before their opponents answered back. Tyler Brunnemann (1-0) picked up his first win, entering for the last out of the fourth and staying until the sixth. Brunnemann allowed a run on two hits and K-ed two in his time on the mound. J.D. Osbourne earned save number one on the season Friday, working the last two frames in scoreless fashion (he was the only Greenville pitcher not to allow a run in the game).

GCL Astros 3, GCL Braves 4 (10)
The GCL Astros came back to tie the
game in the fifth and rode the tie four innings before falling in the 10th of
their season opener. Ambiorix De Leon started on the mound and through four
innings allowed two runs on four hits as he struck out four. Jorge Perez (0-1),
who pitched the last two and a third, cruised through the eighth and ninth
innings in 1-2-3 fashion before single-handedly giving up the winning run in
the 10th on a walk followed by a throwing error (pickoff attempt) and a wild
pitch. Perez finished with a unearned run on no hits, a walk and one strikeout.
At the plate, Luis De La Rosa set his season off with a bang, batting
two-for-four with a run scored, a strike out and an RBI on his fifth-inning,
solo-homer.

Oklahoma City RedHawks 2, New Orleans Zephyrs 3
Asher Wojciechowski pitched the first complete game of his career on Friday and took the loss on the road. Wojo (3-3) finished with three runs on six hits (2HR) and seven Ks through eight innings. Brett Wallace knocked in all of OKC's runs with one swing of the bat, hitting a two-run tater in the fourth. Wallace went one-for-four in the game with a strikeout. Jimmy Paredes and Jake Elmore both hit two-for three. Elmore had a run scored and a walk while Paredes hit a double.
Player of the Day: Teoscar Hernandez gets the nod today. Not only did he bat two-for-five yesterday and score both times he got onto the base paths, he also helped manufacture one of those runs by stealing two consecutive bases. Hernandez put in the effort on Friday and it didn't go unnoticed here. Also, a nod of approval goes out to the guys in Lancaster—they absolutely wore home plate out.
Pitcher of the Day: Simply put, Luis Cruz dominated on Friday. He came out and set the tone for a commanding win and his team noticed. Cruz now has 81 Ks in 66.1 innings pitched. Well played, Cruz.

I'd also like to give an honorable mention to Asher
Wojciechowski for his first complete game. Even though it netted him a loss, he
went the distance and struck out seven along the way.
