The Quincy Pirates turned to ace Paul Aseltine for his 10th-straight Opening Day start, and the veteran delivered once again. The righty pitched six strong innings, allowing just three hits and no walks while striking out 10 as the Bucs downed the Methuen Rangers 4-1 in Roslindale. Nick Buote battled on the hill for the visitors, but a few timely hits from the Pirates proved to be the difference. The Bucs improved to 1-0 while the Rangers fell to 0-1.
