Lynx Win, 5-2, at Tacoma
Fans brought energy and enthusiasm to the Tacoma Thunder Wolves home opener. Brian Davis started for the home team against Carlos Balderrama for the Ottawa Lynx. The Thunder Wolves were unable to reward the home crowd with a win. The final score was 5-2, Ottawa. Carlos Balderrama, though, was impressive. Balderrama picked up the win for Ottawa, going 7 innings. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 1-0.

Ottawa used a clutch at-bat from Gavin Williams to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Lynx ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We came out on top and that's all I can ask for," said Balderrama.
