It’s just the preseason, but we’re Pittsburgh Pirates fans and we’ll take the wins any way we can get them. The Buccos had a successful debut today at LECOM Park and defeated the New York Yankees 4-3 after falling behind early.
Starter Wil Crowe gave up two in the first, but Cole Tucker started the rally in the third with Pittsburgh’s first home run of the year.
Tucker had a great day, also swatting a triple a few innings later.
Greg Allen, who is expected to be competing for regular playing time in the outfield, put the Bucs ahead for good with a booming two-run shot in the fifth.
