The Phoenix Dust Devils hosted the Flagstaff Axemen.

The Dust Devils called in RHP Nick Fowler to start game 1. His first pitch was a ball, but he retired the side in order in the 1st.

RF Cody Kelley was the first man to ever reach base for Phoenix, drawing a walk with one out in the 2nd.

C Josh Jackson picked up the first base hit in Dust Devils’ team history when he singled up the middle to lead off the bottom of the 3rd.

2B Manny Cueto committed a costly error in the top of the 5th, which allowed a run to score.

After SS Nate Dean doubles to lead off the bottom of the 6th, he scored the team’s first run when CF Devon Carlson hit an RBI double into left center field.


Flagstaff sent RHP Edgar Quintanilla to the hill for opening day. His first pitch was a ball, but he retired the side in order.

3B Larry Sykes picked up the first franchise hit leading off the top of the 2nd inning with a line drive single into left field.

C Billy Gonzalez threw the ball away for the Axemen’s first error in the bottom of the 2nd, but no runs scored as a result.

1B Jeremy Elliot smashed the first home run for Flagstaff, with a 392 foot blast into left-center field. That two run home run brought home CF Mike Powell for the first run in franchise history.

Flagstaff won the game 4-1. Edgar Quintanilla earned the win with 5.2 strong innings. Closer Isaiah Brennon picked up the first save for Flagstaff. Nick Fowler ended up getting tagged with the loss, despite only allowing 2 earned runs in 6 innings of work.
