In a game that is already viewed as a CABL Instant Classic, the Mariners sent ace Alec Palioca to the hill opposed by the Gator's Greg Doucette. Tensions were high early as Gator's star Chris Dowd had a disagreement with umpire Bob Roberts who promptly ejected him in the 1st inning. When Palioca struck out Efrain Vega for the final out in the 5th, the M's began to walk off the field but were called back after failing to throw to 1st on the swinging strike in the dirt. The mental error was costly as Doucette hit an RBI single on the very next pitch. Entering the bottom half of the 7th, down 1-0, & still getting no-hit by Doucette, Norfolk rallied with three hits loading the bases with no outs. Palioca followed with an RBI groundout, but Doucette worked out of the jam, sending the game to extra frames. In the bottom of the 8th the M's got a clutch two out walk-off single by James Kajano to earn their 6th victory of the season.

Things looked bleak in swampland when opening day starter Ricky Garthe came off the hill limping after retiring the first 4 batters he faced, but big righty Greg Doucette stepped in and kept the Thunder hitless going into the 7th, supported by a stingy Gator defense led by Scott Michaud's diving heroics. Thunder veteran starter Joel Autry (CG) kept pace, keeping the Gators off the board through the first six. In the top of the 7th, the Gators bats broke out, with three runs on three hits to take a 3-0 lead into the bottom of the 7th. The Thunder showed fight in the bottom frame, putting two guys on with a BB and a bloop fly to break up the no-no, but with the tying run at the dish, Douce bared down and got a K to seal the Gators victory. NEWSWIRE: Garthe cleared to return to action by Gators medical staff. Doucette: W, 5.2IP, H, 2BB, 7K Gavin (1B): 2-2, HBP, R, RBI(GW) Thomas (C): 2-3, R Michaud (RF): 1-3, RBI, 4 putouts
