AFL: Eric Wood Plays First Base for the First Time, Has Busy Day on Offense and Defense

In the Arizona Fall League on Thursday afternoon, the Surprise Saguaros lost 6-4 to Peoria, dropping them to 4-4 (plus one tie) on the season. Four Pirates got into this game, two pitchers and two position players.

Two Pirates were in the starting lineup, with one adding a new position to his resume. Eric Wood played third base and left field during his first four games in the AFL. Left field is a position he took up in the Fall Instructional League, while third base is the only position he has played during his pro career up until last month.
