Mudcats starter Josh Kalinowski then hit Tydus Meadows in the leg, which put runners on first and second. That was some clutch-hitting there, and that was big. Good pitching, good defense and the guys swung the bats well. Hopefully, there's more to come. In all, the Jaxx pounded out13 hits with five Jaxx enjoying multi-hit games.
Guys are hungry, and they go up there battling and swinging the bats.
They have good approaches in the right situations. You could feel it in the clubhouse. Everybody's worked hard for a month of spring training for this and to get the first one underneath our belts is really nice. The Jaxx tacked on two additional runs in the fifth on a double by Hill, scoring Goldbach, who singled, and pinch-hitter Rick Short, who walked. The relief corps of Ricardo Palma, T.P. Waligora and Lariel Gonzalez kept the shutout intact.
