Tuesday
Sacramento 9, Reno 8, 12 innings
Leah Withrow and her crew had the field in impeccable condition, with the Reno skyline cut into the outfield; springing forth from the infield dirt as the season itself was springing forth. Blake Walston threw the first pitches of the season in Reno, and got some swing and miss. This was a welcome sight after his struggles to get batters to miss last year. Unfortunately, when they connected, the ball went a long ways. Jakson Reetz drove one over the scoreboard in the second inning; per Baseball Savant, it traveled 456 feet and was the longest hit of the day in either MLB or AAA.
