Thunderbirds Best Stars in Pitching Duel
The Phoenix Thunderbirds satisfied the home crowd at Legednary Park, treating them to a season-opening win, 2-0, over the Los Angeles Stars. Starting Pitcher Julio Carpinteyro was the standout performer for Phoenix. In 6.1 innings, Carpinteyro surrendered 2 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 0. He allowed no runs.

Phoenix took a 2-0 lead on Min-yul Lee's 1st home run of the season. The solo home run, which Lee hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Los Angeles pitcher Mike Merdinger visibly frustrated.

Carpinteyro said the team appreciates the support from the fans. "I'm glad we could reward them with a good win," he said after the game.
