1. Red Raider of the Game
Eric Gutierrez was the player of the game, something that isn't unexpected, and probably will be common this season. Gute had 6 plate appearances, drew 2 walks, got hit by a pitch, and officially went 2-3 with 3 runs and an RBI.
2. Play That (Almost) Impacted the Game
Last year, one of this team's most pressing issues was a high amount of runners left on base, squandering scoring opportunities. By the end of the 3rd inning, we had already stranded 8, including a bases loaded 1st inning.
