Traverse City Decked by Ortiz, Suns
The Aurora Suns began the 2021 season with a convincing 9-3 win over the Traverse City Bears at Suns Field. Most impressive was Aurora first baseman Dan Ortiz, who was 3 for 3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice.

Tied up with the Bears in the bottom of the fifth inning, the Suns got a boost from center fielder Jim Unknown. With the bases loaded, Unknown saw a 1-2 slider from Alex Gonzales and hit a run-scoring single to break the stalemate and put Aurora on top, 4-3.

Ortiz told a Aurora Citizen reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
