Game #2: Riverdogs 14, Mudcats 6, First Pitches 2

Zach's mammoth home run was the highlight of Sunday's 14-6 loss to the Riverdogs. But the day included more than just a game at West Raleigh. A broad cross-section of current and former Mudcats attended Drew's party at Boshamer Stadium, highlighted by Sticks upstaging the UNC chancellor and becoming the first player ever to take the Boshamer mound while wearing all black. His first pitch was such a hit that it was memorialized on the official UNC website.

The Mudcats now lead all of West Raleigh, across all leagues, with two first pitches thrown this season. That is believed to be a West Raleigh record. It is worth noting that the Tar Heels are 2-0 when a Mudcat throws out the first pitch.

The All Blacks continue their rigorous early season schedule with a third game in three days Monday night at 5:30. GM Jenn made the very wise decision to avoid a midweek practice, which means after tomorrow night's game we will go three long days without seeing each other. Counseling will be available.
