DAYTONA BEACH, FL - Opening Night at "The Jack" hosted 4,945 fans, but the large crowd could not will the Daytona Cubs to victory as they dropped their second straight game by the final score 7-0.

Daytona Cubs' starter Chris Rusin (0-1) got the nod on opening night. Rusin pitched four innings allowing seven hits and six runs. The damage started in the fourth inning when Brevard County's Matthew Cline appeared to be picked off, but a high throw from Ryne White sailed into center field aiding to a four run frame.

The Cubs offense appeared ready to break into the early deficit in the bottom of the fourth after a Josh Vitters leadoff single, but six pitches later he was picked off. The Cubs finished the game with just six hits.

Brevard County's starter Wily Peralta (1-0) dazzled through six innings only allowing four base runners and struck out eight. Peralta picked up his first win of the early season and Chris Rusin gets the loss.

Game three of the four game series continues tomorrow night at 7:05 p.m. at "The Jack" with postgame fireworks presented by Jon Hall Automotive and WDSC-Channel 15.
