The Beavers opened their road series against Grand Canyon with a 4-0 victory that also got Kevin Abel (1-1) his first win of the season. In a pitching duel the Beavers arms came out on top, as Abel and the relief squad held the Antelopes scoreless.
After a scoreless first, Joe Casey started the second with a solo home run to give the Beavers the first lead of the game. That was all the scoring there would be for awhile as the game turned into a defensive duel while the Beavers struggled to find hits.
Kevin Abel was up to the challenge, allowing only 3 hits in his 5.
