Opening Day

Battle Creek's Chase Wright pitched well, and looks impressive, but threw too many pitches and was visibly tired by the fifth.  Regardless, Sean Marshall, a lanky guy with some apparent potential, pitched a better game.  The most interesting thing seen was Lansing's Clay Rapada, who is a radical sidewinder; don't remember seeing a southpaw throw like that before.  Lansing's Kyle Boyer had a fine day at the plate.

The Yanks were pretty sloppy in the field, particularly late in the game. 


 A good crowd, by Battle Creek standards.  Noisy, and very much in the game.


A box score, courtesy of ScorePad, a product I can recommend. Drew Larsen's last name is mispelled, as is Brian Dopirak's; there may be other errors....
