Twins Win in Glorious Fashion, 6-5
The Bluefield Blue Jays could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Tony Merritt into a win. Instead, the Elizabethton Twins prevailed, 6-5. Merritt threw 8.2 innings of 4-hit ball. Elizabethton goes to 2-0.

The decisive blow was delivered by Vic Rosa in the bottom of the 12th when he hit a run-scoring double off 23-year old left-handed pitcher Dan West to win the game for Elizabethton. The home crowd went nuts.

"The game of baseball will test you," said Angel Pagan, the Elizabethton skipper. "This one tested us."
