Posted by Quebec 7, Pittsfield 3
Trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the eighth, Quebec 3B Patrick Deschenes hit a go-ahead grand slam after a hit by pitch and two walks loaded the bases. RF Sebastien Boucher followed two batters later with a two-run shot to put the game out of reach and launch the Capitales to an exciting 7-3 opening-night, come-from-behind win. After leadoff man Goefrey Tomlinson hit a solo home run as the Capitales’ first batter of the season, two Quebec errors led to Pittsfield’s tying run in the third. Colonials 1B Jerod Edmondson then hit a go-ahead solo home run in the fifth inning, and added another RBI in the seventh before the six-run Capitales outburst in the eighth. The Pittsfield bullpen surrendered six runs, while rookie Sean Gregory earned the win for Quebec in relief.
Sussex 4, New Jersey 3
Sussex 2B Chase Fontaine knocked in three runs on two doubles and the Skyhawks held New Jersey to three runs to collect their first victory in a 4-3 opening night win at home. Sussex starter Justin Dignelli gave up just two runs in 5.2 innings and the bullpen backed him up with 3.1 innings of one-run ball to hold off the Jackals’ offense. The Skyhawks scored a single unearned tally in the first on a Fontaine two-bagger, and plated three more runs in the bottom of the fifth. New Jersey scored two in the sixth and one in the eighth, but couldn’t find the final run they needed to tie the game. Veteran closer Duaner Sanchez earned his first save of the season with a scoreless ninth.
