Pirates Hope Opening Day Win Bodes Well for Season
Bowen Field was the site of the home opener for the Bluefield Blue Jays. The contest featured a prime matchup between Ernesto Paredes of the visiting Bristol Pirates and Derek West of the Blue Jays. The final score was 7-0, the Pirates getting the win. Clarence George turned in the best performance. António Encarnación earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 4 innings. His record is now 1-0.

George had a key at-bat for Bristol early in the game. With a runner on 1st, he hit a run-scoring triple. It was his 1st triple of the season and gave Bristol an early 1-0 lead.

"It was a solid team effort," said George after the game.
