THIS DAY IN RED WINGS HISTORY

2017 - Rochester committed a season-high four errors leading to four unearned Buffalo runs as the Red Wings fell to the Bisons 5-2 Wednesday afternoon at Coca-Cola Park.

THIS DAY IN INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE HISTORY

2000 - Deion Sanders, beginning his third stint in the Cincinnati Reds organization after being out of baseball in 1998 & 1999, scores the first run in the history of Louisville Slugger Field in the 1st inning of the RiverBats' home opener against Norfolk. Sanders draws a walk and comes around to score on a single by Chris Sexton. 13,242 fans turn out for the historic day in Louisville, which remains the largest crowd in the park's history. The euphoria of Opening Day would soon wear out - Sanders appeared in just 25 games due to injury, and the RiverBats played mediocre baseball most of the season, finishing 71-73 and 10.0 games out of 1st place. The club would bounce back nicely however in 2001, winning the Governors' Cup Championship.
