Fisher Cats take 2-0 series lead.




Carlos Beltran just wants to play for a winner and he shows he can repay that trust clouting a 3-run homer to chase Jaime Garcia and crush the hopes of a victory from the Acorn faithful.

It was apparent early that Garcia was not fooling anyone. Going 2+ innings and allowing 8 hits Acorn's Manager Don Thomas had to make it a bullpen game early. But signs of an awakening give the Ann Arbor fans hope of mighty Oaks when the series shifts back to Ann Arbor. A towering homerun by Willingham along with multiple hit games from Morgan and Gonzalez point toward spring growth for the Acorn offense.
