Pirates top Grays in opener

The Pirates took a 6-1 lead in the 3rd but the Grays battled back to make it a great one run affair in the end. The defensive play of the game was turned in by Grays right fielder Brian Krause - the Pirates had runners on first and second in the bottom of the 8th with one out and Krause caught a fly ball in right and threw a bullet to 3rd to shoot down the tagging runner from 2nd for an inning ending double play. Pirate pitching was sharp with Erik Dauphin in command through 4 allowing only 1 hit and fanning 4. Jose Pelayo smacked a deep 2 run double for the key hit, Jerry Whitaker got on base 3 times and scored 2 runs and John Petrocelli got the save. Great game on both sides.
