Adcock -- W (1-0) 5 1/3 IP, 2H, 0R, 2BB, 5K Solid start, 78 pitches
Bueno -- 1 2/3 IP Nada, 4K
Coleman -- 2 IP, H, BB, K

The Chasers jumped on the Topes early Saturday scoring all 5 runs before the 2nd inning was completed... then nothing. Luckily the Royals bullpen (Bueno Coleman) was just as good, finishing off Adcock's shutout. Tony Abreu is still swinging a hot stick with a 3 hit day and a RBI. Coleman is burying that 2-seamer and a new sinker/split (it looks like) and its forcing a ton of ground balls. Up by May 1st?
Omaha is 2-1 on the season.

Arguelles -- L (0-1) 3 1/3 IP, 7H, 5R/3ER, 2BB/0K Disappointing start from Noel. Still can't strike guys out
Volz -- 2 2/3 IP, H, 2K
Lafferty -- 1 IP, 3 H, 2R/ER, 2K
Mariot -- 1 IP, 2BB, 2K

The fourth inning proved vital for the Nats tonight as the Stopes scored quick and the Nats couldn't have been anyone. Myers homered again (2 in 2 days), yet the offense stayed silent the rest of the night. Expected more than Pimetal... NW Ark is 1-2 on the season.

Boruff -- 2 IP, 3H, BB, 4 K
Rogers -- 2 Ip, BB K

Tough loss for Wilmington. Adam pitched well for his first start and Cuthbert looked very comfortable at 3rd and at the plate. Adam got out of his only jam by pitching around hitters, could learn to attack more... Wilmington is 0-2 on the season.
