Newport Beaten, 6-2, by Waco
Newport got a valiant performance from pitcher Matt Bowden, but it wasn't enough to beat the Waco Warlocks. Waco won the game, 6-2. Bowden threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball for the losing team. Newport now has a record of 1-1.

Had Jose Rivera not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Rivera hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Warlocks.

"We took home the win," said Rivera. "What's not to like?"
