EARLY AND OFTEN: The Valley Cats got the scoring going in the first inning as Michael Wielansky smoked a two run single with the bases loaded. After a JC Escarra solo home run in the second, the Valley cats went back to work putting up runs in both the 3rd and 4th inning.
ESCARRA STAYS HOT: Escarra came into the night with the only IronBird home run of the season. He doubled his homeun total when he turned on a fastball from Bryan Abreu and registered it over the right field wall and into the Aberdeen bullpen.
NO LET UP: The Valley Cats continued their good offense tonight in the 6th when their DH, Jose Carillo pounded a fastball off of Javier Echevarria. It was Carillo's first of the season. The homerun came at a critical time as Echevarria had gotten in a groove the inning before dominated as he struck out the side in the 5th.
BIRD WATCHIN': Robert Neustrom has been red hot to start his first professional season. The 5th round pick in this years draft out of the University of Iowa has collected at least one hit in every game thus far. His hitting streak stretched to four games tonight in his first at bat when he lined a sinle off of Bryan Abreu in the second inning.
UP NEXT: Game two of the three game set takes place tomorrow night. The IronBirds and Valley Cats will get set to start at 7:05.
