Splunkers Win Pitchers Duel Versus Valley Bend
Austin Abel and Austin Simmons went pitch for pitch in the night cap of a rain modified opening day. Brett Smith blasted a solo home run in the top of the first to put the Blue Jays out ahead early, but Abel was quick to shut that down. Abel retired 9 of the last 10 batters, and struck out 6 of them. Simmons was dominate, except for the one small blip in the second inning, and that was all the Splunkers would need behind Abel. The Splunkers put together a four hit, two run inning in the second and that would prove to be enough. Simmons did not allow a hit in any inning but the second.
