Opening day festivities have begun throughout the league. Fans of the Mescalero Chiefs were eager to watch Manny Velez square off against Ben Whitman of the visiting Corpus Christi Mermen. In the end, the Mermen won the game, 7-5, with Sean Dowling leading the way. Picking up the save was 34-year old right-handed pitcher Josh Maughan.

Corpus Christi used the hitting of Noritoshi Taniguchi to pick up the win. The designated hitter clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Mermen on top, 6-0. For the game, Taniguchi had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Dowling. "You've got to get results."
