Game # 1 Astros 9 Bulldogs 7 WP Junior Fair (1-0) JC Clancy (S1)
The Astros start out the season on a high note in a heart thumping 9-7 victory. The game was tied at 3 until the 5th inning when the Astros break it open with 6 runs and then hold on late as the Bulldogs rally with 4 runs in their last 2 at-bats. Junior Fair pitched into the 6th inning before tiring and picks up the opening day victory! JC Clancy throws 1 1/3 innings to pick-up the save as the Astros faithful let out a collective sigh of relief as SS Max Tecce makes an over-the-shoulder catch while nearly colliding with CF Mike Sciortino for the 3rd and final out!! The Astros bang out 14 hits on the day as Max Tecce shines at the plate as well with his 3 hits (2B/3B) and 2 RBI, Big Bad Dan Levine also bangs out 3 hits (2B/3B) with 2 RBI's and Astros Captain Cam Maron contributes with 2 hits driving home 1 run and stealing 2 bases. Great start boys!!

Game #2 Astros 17 Bulldogs 8 WP Joseph Lawrence (1-0)
The Astros come out sluggish in the nightcap and fall behind 5-1 after the 1st inning. Joe Lawrence definitely deserved better as the boys committed 3 costly errors in the 1st inning leading to 3 unearned runs, to Joe's credit he settled down nicely and allows only 2 runs over his next 4 innings of work and picks up the win to cap a perfect Astros afternoon!! Max Tecce continues swinging a mighty stick and delivers 4 more hits (2 2B's) while driving home 2 more runs, Zach "Rootie" Root adds 3 singles and 5 huge RBI's! Ryan Rusoff (2 RBI's) and Cam Maron add 2 hits apiece while Scott Mishan drives home 2 runs with a solid single. Nice way to start the season!
