Gavin Collyer got the start on the mound giving up one run in 5.1 innings with a couple of three-up-three-down innings. Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa came out of the duck blind in the top of the 6th inning with runners on first and third and was able to get out of it. Offensively, Daniel Mateo stole the show with four RBI’s out of the five total runs. He had an RBI single in the bottom of the 1st, scoring Alejandro Osuna, two RBI’s in the bottom of the third with a 409-foot BOMB, and his fourth and final RBI in the bottom of the 8th scoring Junior Paniagua. The Down East Wood Ducks went on to win game one, five runs to two.
