Laredo Lemurs News Release
LAREDO, TX - Former Texas A&M product David Newmann pitches the Lemurs to a 2-0 victory on opening night at Uni-Trade Stadium.
Newmann, who hasn't thrown a pitch as professional since the start of 2011, was lights out for the Lemurs in the home opener going six, giving up two hits, while striking out four. The win gets Newmann off to a 1-0 start in the 2013 season.
The offense for the Lemurs came early in the game with John Allen leading off the second with a single. Allen's single was followed up by a Jon Gaston double to put runners on second and third. Mike Sheridan would walk to load the bases bringing up Brain Peterson. On a 1-2 count, Peterson hit a soft liner to left field that fell in, driving in Allen and Gaston to give the Lemurs a lead that they would treasure throughout the night.
The RedHawks starting pitcher Joe Cruz threw five, giving up two runs, on three hits, striking out four batters, as he took the loss.
The Lemurs will face the RedHawks through the weekend and then the Grand Prairie AirHogs will come to town for a three game set to wrap up the seven game homestand.
All game times at home will be at 7:30pm with the exception of Wednesday, May 22nd at 10:00am and the game on Sunday, June 2nd which will start at 3:16pm.
Season tickets, suite rentals, and group packages are on sale now. For more information, call the Lemurs' office at 956- 7LEMURS or visit the Lemurs' official website at www.laredolemurs.com.
