New York Yankees 1-4
Orlando Raptors 4-1

It's the first game of the season at Local Ballpark, and the Raptors are off to an amazing 4-1 start. They will take on the New York Yankees yet again. Hopefully the Raptors can continue their surprising start. New York struck first on an RBI groundout by Bobby Abreu in inning #1. The Yanks added another on in the 3rd. Phil Neagle worked out of a jam in the 6th, but the Yankees added on another run. The comeback kids struck right back in the 7th, equalizing at 3. The Raptors finally took the lead on a sac fly in the bottom of the 8th. Conor McMillan closed the deal, putting Orlando at 5-1 on the year.

Boston Red Sox 5-4
Orlando Raptors 6-3

The Raptors took on the defending champion Boston Red Sox at Local Ballpark. The game was a pitcher's duel, until the fourth, when Piersoll hit a moonshot to left. McMillan was brought in to seal the deal, but he blew the save. But the comeback kids weren't about to let the game away, and Gary Chapman brought home Daiki Hirayama with an RBI single, and the Raptors won 2-1.

Orlando Raptors 10-5
Boston Red Sox 7-8

The Raptors are the biggest surprise in Major League Baseball so far. It's the battle of the knuckleballers. Abe Finegan vs. Tim Wakefield. Can the Raptors keep their good form? It was the ultimate pitcher's duel as no runs were scored until an RBI groundout from Piersoll. The 1-0 lead was enough for Conor "Mcyolo" McMillan, and the Raptors won yet again.

Orlando Raptors 15-12
Oakland Athletics 18-9


The Raptors faced the Athletics in the last game of the month, hoping to end a cold-streak. The Athletics scored two early runs, showing that they are a real threat. Oakland also added another run in the second, going up 3-0 early. This was nothing for Orlando, as they put up a massive five spot, going up 5-3. The A's equalized in the third, however, showing that the Raptors pitching is very weak. The Raptors broke the tie in the 5th on an RBI double. This lead didn't stand, and the A's retook the lead. Kenny Sparks blasted a homer to right, and the Raptors again led 8-7. The Raptors added two insurance runs, and #Mcyolo closed the game off.
