99ers Hope Opening Day Win Bodes Well for Season
The Lunar Dark Knights opened their 1999 season with a disappointing 7-2 loss to the Tokyo 99ers at Lumineers Grounds. Left Fielder Joan Kesi was a big part of the win for Tokyo. He was 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 times. Tokyo starter Henry Fisher was credited with the win after throwing 116 pitches over 9 innings. His record now stands at 1-0.

Ricky Valenzuela had a big 2-run home run for the 99ers in the top of the third inning. With Tokyo leading 2-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a fastball from 27-year old right-handed pitcher Keith Carter and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the 99ers on top, 4-1.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Kesi said.
