Here are some highlights from Opening Day in The Bigs’ season 1:Montreal defeats Cincinnati in the eighth
In a 1-1 game in the bottom of the eighth inning, Rico Valdes leads off the inning with a single off Cincinnati pitcher Willie Nunez. Thomas Keisler follows with a single of his own, advancing Valdes to third. Dewey Greenwood hits a fly ball to center, scoring Valdes and securing the win for Montreal. The Maroons would tack on two more runs for good measure and closer Jackson Hayes would retire the side in order in the ninth for the save.
Eusebio shuts out Anaheim
Fighting Moose ace Matty Eusebio threw a complete game shutout against the Anaheim Sleepers. Eusebio struck out seven while walking just one and allowing only four hits.
New York routs Baltimore 18-8
New York’s Ken Winn hit two homeruns and drove in 5 runs, leading his team to an 18-8 dismantling of the Iron Birds. New York 2B Bernie Soriano also went yard twice in the victory. Oddly enough, Baltimore pitcher Torey Fernandez got the complete game loss, giving up 18 runs, 15 earned, in eight innings. Fernandez threw 231 pitches in the contest, earning himself a bath in some Icy Hot after the game.
