The Mahoning Valley Scrappers went into their first match up of the year with Pickney Division leader, the Auburn Doubledays, wanting to send a clear message.

Well message delivered loud and clear as the Scrappers pounded out 12 hits and 9 runs on their way to a 9-2 win in Auburn.The Scrappers offense wasted little time jumping on Auburn starter, Brett Mooneyham.

Charlie would strike again in the top of the 3rd. Robel Garcia singled to start the inning. Jairo Kelly then walked. Both runners moved up a base on a Vick ground out. Valerio then singled on a 0-2 pitch to plate both runners for a 3-0 lead. The game was put away in the top of the 6th.

Hunter Jones laid down a bunt single to start the inning. Erik Gonzalez followed with a bunt. Doubleday's pitcher, Andrew Wall attempted to get the lead runner Jones but threw the ball into center field. Juan Romero made it hurt when he launched his 7th homerun of the year deep over the right field fence for a 3 run homer and an 8-2 lead. The Scrappers added their final run in the 8th inning when Vick and Valerio doubled back to back.

Jacob Lee got the start for Mahoning Valley and worked 3 scoreless innings. He scattered 5 hits while walking none and striking out 2. Lee leads the Scrappers with 40 strikeouts.
