League Championship Series Game 1 Goes to Newport News, Thanks to Zavala
The Newport News Wranglers powered past the visiting Wichita Panthers, 10-9, in the opener of the League Championship Series at Wranglers Stadium. Newport News left fielder Fernando Zavala was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2, to lead the charge. The Wranglers now lead the series 1-0.

Zavala had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth to put Newport News in front, 3-1. With the bases loaded, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run off Wichita pitcher Edward Southey.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Zavala said.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Wranglers Stadium in Newport News.
