Mud Hens and Whitecaps each win playoff openers

The Hens offense erupted right out of the gate, scoring four in the first and building a nearly insurmountable lead to take Game 1 of their Governor’s Cup semifinals series. Willi Castro, Daz Cameron, and Harold Castro all had RBI hits in the first inning. Jason Krizan closed out the early scoring with a solo shot that made it 8-2 Hens after four innings. Ryan Carpenter did a nice job holding Durham in check over six innings of work. He allowed two runs while striking out six Bulls.

Cameron: 3-3, 2 R, 2 RBI, BB

Kozma: 2-3, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2B, BB

Coming up next: The Hens send Jacob Turner to the mound in Game 2.
