Open Day Sees Expansion Expos top Gems

On a cloud-filled afternoon in Centerville, the Expos bested the Gems in each team's season opener. The Expos got off to a quick start, taking a 9-0 lead into the 5th Inning before the Gems put up three runs in the top of the sixth with a wild rally-cry heard all the way to Dayton. Players shook hands at home plate before a croud of about 15 fans who braved the cool Spring temperatures before heading home to watch a wild finish in the Masters where Rory McElroy completed his lifetime Grand Slam with a one-hole playoff victory.
