Tough debut for feel good story Mike Adams.

But a great first post TJ start from Ben Brown.

Iron Pigs win it on a two-out, two-run triple in the 11th by none other than Scott Kingery. Good for him!

2-2 night but to my mind a lot of positives from important prospects

Casey Martin 1-2, Double, 2BBs, SB
Luis Garcia 2-5, 2B,
Johan Rojas 2-5, 2B
Jhailyn Ortiz, 2-3, HBP
Logan O'Hoppe 2-4, Double, HR
Ben Brown (and his band of renown) 4IP, 1H, 1B, 0R, 6K
Dominic Pipkin 2IP, 1H, 1B, 1ER, 3K
Arquimedes Gamboa 1-3, HR, 2BB

Video of O'Hoppe's bomb. Looks Reese Hoskins-esque.

Really good to read the list of minor leaguers having a good day to open the season.

Squire, wasn't that Les Brown that had the Band of Renown?

It sure would be great if Kingery found his hitting stroke and could bring it back to the ML team. A game winning triple can help get on track but he needs some consistent good at bats before returning.

Hammer definitely up a bit this year. Llovera seems to have recovered a bit from the 92-93 he was showing last year.
