A fine day for a season opener at Cronin Field between Panera Bread and Jack Diamond Law, with Panera taking the win. Panera sent 3 13 yr old rooks to the hill, combining for the shutout, with every PB player reaching base. JDL had gutsy pitching from Ryan ODonnell, Henry Smith, and Alex Droster in the shortened game.

Panera - Goode(2), Campbell(2), Irvin(1)

An epic battle between two evenly matched teams under foreboding skies. The Lawmen struck first with one in the top of the first, but G&C bounced back with three in the home half as Jake Mahoney delivered the a clutch two out base hit. JD Law battled back scraping single runs across in the 3rd & 4th. The game remained tied until the visitors put up a 7-spot in the top of the 6th. No lead was safe though as a rainbow appeared in right field. G&C went down swinging as they battled back before the game was called on account of darkness...

G&C: Mulieri 5 / N Barrett 1 / Taverna 1
