Well, well, the Glendale Desert Dogs knocked off the best team in the early AFL, the Scottsdale Scorpions, 1-0. And the winner was ... Bennett Sousa!
Gavin Sheets (1B) 0-for-3 (.000 BA)
Micker Adolfo (RF) 0-for-2, BB, 2 K (.167 BA)
Blake Rutherford (LF) 0-for-2, 2 K (.100 BA)
Bennett Sousa (RP, eighth) IP, H, 8 pitches/6 strikes, W (1-0) (0.00 ERA)
OK, perhaps an even bigger headline than Sousa getting the first Desert Dogs win is that, phew, the hitting in the AFL sure seems awful out of the gate!
