Happy New York-Penn League Opening Day!
Tacoma 10, Fresno 4
W- Joe Wieland (5-4)
L- Joe Musgrove (2-3, 4-4 season)
Fresno home runs: None.
In a battle of Joes, it was Wieland who came out on top. The Grizzlies scored 3 in the 7th inning to make it a 6-4 game, but the Rainiers put this one out of reach with 4 runs in the 8th.
Fresno's Joe, Musgrove, pitched 5 innings and allowed 6 runs on 6 hits (2 2-run homers), walked 1, and struck out 3. Reymin Guduan was the first man out of the bullpen and walked 1 in 2 scoreless innings. Jordan Jankowski pitched the 8th and allowed 4 runs on 4 hits, walked 2, and struck out 1.
Jack Mayfield put the Grizzlies on the board with an RBI single in the 4th. Matt Duffy hit a 2-run single in the 7th inning and came around to score on a triple from Preston Tucker. Tucker finished a home run shy of the cycle. Duffy finished 2-4 and scored twice.
In game 2 of this series, Brady Rodgers will take on Jarrett Grube. First pitch is at 5:05 Pacific.
Corpus Christi 10, Frisco 3
W- Kyle Smith (1-5)
L- Ryne Slack (2-2)
CC home runs: Mott Hyde (2, grand slam in 7th)
The Hooks emphatically broke a 3-3 tie with 7 runs in the 7th inning. Mott Hyde and Danry Vásquez made their returns to the Corpus Christi lineup after they were involved in a nasty collision last month that put both of them on the disabled list.
Alfredo Gonzalez scored the first run of the game on a wild pitch that was also ball 4 to Danry in the 3rd inning. In the 5th, Chan-Jong Moon scored on an error, and Danry hit an RBI single. The Roughriders scored a run in the 6th to tie the game at 3, but that scoreline would be short-lived.
James Ramsay led off the 7th rather painfully as he was hit by a pitch. Gonzalez ripped a double to put runners in scoring position for Moon, who broke the tie with an RBI single. Alejandro Garcia was plunked to load the bases. Alfredo was forced out at home, but Danry reached safely to keep the bases loaded. Nick Tanielu followed with an RBI single, but Garcia was thrown out at home for the second out of the inning. Teoscar Hernandez walked to re-load the bases, and Conrad Gregor drew a walk to bring in Danry, resulting in a pitching change for Frisco. Hyde promptly greeted the new pitcher, Jason Richman, with a grand slam.
Not everyone in the lineup had a hit, but they all scored a run. Moon scored twice, while the other 8 players in the Hooks lineup scored once. Moon and Alfredo had 2 hits apiece; both of Gonzalez's hits were doubles.
Cy Sneed pitched 5 innings and allowed a 2-run home run to Ryan Cordell, which were the only runs that he allowed. Sneed allowed two other hits, issued a walk, and struck out 7. Kyle Smith tagged in for 3 innings and allowed a run on 2 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. Gonzalo Sañudo struck out 1 in a 1-2-3 9th.
David Paulino will start the series finale. He'll take on Connor Sadzeck at 7:05.

In the 5th inning, Garrett Stubbs scored on a wild pitch and Jason Martin whacked a 3-run home run, his only hit of the evening. Trent Woodward's double was the JetHawks only other extra-base hit.

The ValleyCats greeted their fans by romping to an Opening Night victory.

Tri-City scored 5 runs in the 5th on 4 doubles: Daz Cameron smacked a 2-run double and came around to score on a Taylor Jones double. Jones scored on Jake Rogers' two-bagger, and Rogers came home on a double from Mejia.
