The Mavericks (0-1) were stifled in the 3rd inning with a player thrown out at home to keep the one run lead. It was tight until the 6th, up 2-0 the Pirates would score 7 more runs on 3 walks, 2 Hit by pitches, and one throwing error. Dean Rosling and Sam Koncz both went 2-3 wiith a walk to lead the way for Plumas. Brayden Stewart responded with a 2-3 night for Minnedosa. Plumas threw Single, McBride, and Denbow , while Minnedosa threw Gugin and Lamb.
In Neepawa, The Cubs(1-0) threw their ace Garrett Rempel to start the season off, and it paid dividends. They took out last years pennant winners 10-2 . The Royals (0-1) sent Cory Billiaert to the hill, but it wasnt enough to slow down the Cubs offense.
