Landstown 3, Kempsville 1
Ryan Crain pitched a complete game striking out 9 and giving up only 2 hits. Frank Laster had two hits including a double and Zach Hutchison added a triple. Both teams played pretty good defense and got good pitching. Tom Wall pitched well for Kempsville.
Kempsville has a pretty young team. The only returning starters from last year are Matt Little and Neil Ramirez. The rest of the squad are new. I think they will hit better later in the season.
Returning starters for Landstown include Crain, Hutchison, Tim Soliday, Nate Smidgeon and Jack Reynolds.
The game ended on a wierd note. With 2 outs and a runner on third the Kempsville batter walked on a high pitch, the runner on third walked off third to almost halfway home and was picked off by Frank Laster. I don't know what the runner was thinking.

Good to see that Frank Laster is doing well. IMO, he is one of the most underrated players around.
Anyone have the details of the FC and Cox games---saw the paper---looks like Cox just squeaked by. Austin Wright 4 for 4---great opening day for him and Coach Stubbe with a first win at FC.
Any details on PA at Kempsville? All I've been told is an 11-0 win for PA. Daniel Hudson pitched 5, 2-hit innings. Also, and obvious, a good day at the plate for many PA hitters.
Lets here from those who saw the game.

PA beat Kepmsville 11-0. Hudson started for PA thre 5 innings 2 hits. Pariss and Woods relieved. Hudson went 2-2 with 4 rbi's. MacAloose went 4-5, Weems 2-4, and Brad Falls added a homerun for the Cavaliers. Ramirez started for Kempsville but long innings and a high pitch count forced him to come out a little earlier than expected. PA plays FC on Tuesday and Ocean Lakes on Thursday
Salem 5 Cox 6
Salem Faught hard all game and had the lead most of the time. Salem went in to the 7 inning up 5-1, and with a few BLOWN calls by the umpires and a few flubb ups in the field by Salem; Cox tied it up with a three run triple.
Cox won in the eighth with a Grounder to drive in the run from third.
Tough loss for Salem. Salem did show that they can fight. So dont count the young team out!

Who started on the mound for Cox?
1st week of the season and we are all ready blaming the umpires. They must have been REALbad to relenquesh a 4 run lead. But I'm sure the miscuses in the field had nothing to do with it.
No we screwed up too many times and it costed us the game, but some of the plays shouldnt have had to be made if the right calls were made earlier.
it wasnt all the umpires but they did have a little to do with it
