Game 8: Airhogs vs. Pelicans

Ah, the home opener. I have tickets to tonights Airhogs game. The Hogs are 2-5 coming into their home opener and the Pelicans are 3-4, so not too much difference between the two right now.

In Beam's first start, He dominated, yeilding three hits and a walk (one HR) in five innings of work. He struck out four while giving up two runs in the process for the win. He is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA.

Jose Cordero looks to make the start... although the statistics page tell me that it is Stephen MacFarland's turn, as Cordero is a relief pitcher. It would really help if they gave me a scheduled starter information. OK... MacFarland. He has a 1.93 ERA while only pitching 4.2 innings. He gave up one hit and two walks that led to a single run scoring. Opponents are hitting .067 off of him.
Forecast: I like the Airhogs in this one, although the pitching looks like it could be good from both sides. Still, the Airhogs have been itching to get some home games in, as the road hasn't been to nice for them. Score: 5-3.
