"Better to win ugly, than to lose pretty" that was the story of Sundays Pirate Sweep. The Rangers opened  the door a couple of times and to hungry Buccos said Thank You very much.  A 6-4 win to start the season was very nice. Defense and wind was key to the victory holding the mighty Rangers to just 4 runs.

In the night cap vs the Iron Pigs, it took a Cody Strull walk off 2 run homer to put the game away 13-11. Jimie Simione went 3-3 with a double to give the Pirates the lead late only to have the Pigs tie the game in the 6th. In the bottom of the 7th,  Zach San Roman got on to set the stage for Cody's heroics.

 Skipper Bob, making his first Sunday appearance in a year, was very pleased with the outcomes. it felt like he finally got out of jail. Also, The Skip was very moved by the trophy presentation and having the honor of the trophy named after him. he appreciated all the guys coming up to him and saying hello.  

Until next week, Shiver Me Timbers and Be Well and Safe.
