Opening Day for your Triad Giants yesterday taking on the Triad Sun Devils at BMHS. Contest was originally scheduled for HP Athletic Park but due to field conditions, moved to Bishop where the grounds crew had this cathedral of men’s league baseball in pristine shape. Anyway, onto the game… The G-Men came out a little rusty with the bats in the first 2 innings only plating 2 runs. But the return to the mound for E Gunz was the story. The righty with the new bionic leg kept the Sun Devil offense at bay all night only allowing 5 runs on 7 hits with 5 strikeouts as the G-Men rallied behind him for the 23-5 win. Santos led the offense going 2-4 with 2 doubles and driving in 4 RBI’s on the night. Several others had multi-hit game for the Giants.
Next game is against the Triad Tiburones on Wed Apr 5th at 6:45 @ Stoner-White in Greensboro where it will be Bill Stevens Look-a-like night. So anyone who looks like Bill, or knows him will get free admission (no rain checks and no refunds for knowing him).
Reminder that the Over/Under raffle for how many RBI’s Santos will have at the end of the season, which is set at 7, is still in effect. He has 4 after game 1 and the Giants Upper Management is still going with the Under…
