Mounties 8-7 Victors Over Plymouth
Crowds lined up early in front of Madison Grounds, eagerly awaiting the start of the 2026 ABA Rookie League season. On the mound was Scott Lewandowski for the visiting Moncton Mounties and Danny Garcia for the hometown Plymouth Rockers. In a spirited contest, the Mounties pulled out the win, defeating the Rockers by the score of 8-7. Especially impressive was Danny Shafer. Diego Garcia recorded the save for Moncton, his 1st of the season.

Moncton used a well-timed hit by Shigemori Shimizu to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Mounties ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"It was sure nice to get the win but there's a lot of baseball left," Shafer after the game.
