The expansion Norfolk County Mariners started their season off strong defeating the Quincy Pirates 3-1 behind a stellar performance from ace Alec Palioca (5.2IP,2H,0R,9K's). Pirates pitcher Paul Aseltine (CG,4H,3R,6K's) kept the Mariners bats at bay for the majority of the game, but in the 3rd inning the M's rallied for all 3 of their runs. The inning was highlighted by Ryan Manning stealing home during a pickoff attempt at 1st base -- a bold, heads up play by the young 3rd baseman. The Pirates rallied in the 7th, but inevitably came up short with Connor Brown earning his first save.
