W: Carlos Avila (1-0) L: Jeff Bradley (0-1)
HR – None
POG: Robin MacFadden (BAT) 3-6, 2B, R, 2 RBI

Starter Jeff Bradley (0-1, 20.26 ERA) fails to get out of the second inning as he gives up six runs and ten hits as Batavia amasses 18 hits as a team in crushing my coaching debut. Catcher Robinson Diaz (.750, 2 RBI) has three hits and drives in two of our three runs but we just couldn't cash in on the nine free passes Batavia gave us. Robin MacFadden (.500, 2 RBI) has three hits and two RBI, while Antonio Rosario (.750, 1 RBI) and Jose Velez (.600, 1 RBI) each have three hits for the Indians.
