Fire Slap 7-1 Loss on Carolina
The 2025 season did not get off to quite the start the Carolina Reapers had hoped, with an opening day loss to the San Francisco Fire at Reedy River Stadium. The final score was 7-1. Starting Pitcher Tom Tchida was the top performer for San Francisco. Tchida picked up the win for San Francisco, going 6.1 innings. He gave up no runs on 3 hits. He now sports a record of 1-0.

In the top of the fifth, San Francisco first baseman Noel Cusack had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Cusack stroked a 2-run single to left. It made the score 4-0, San Francisco. For the game, he was 2-3 with 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI.

Cusack attributed the win to his team's "collective resolve."
