The Casper Ghosts opened the 2010 season in style with a 6-4 win over the Ogden Raptors in front of 2,018 fans at Mike Lansing Field.
In the first inning, Ogden struck first when Michael Pericht doubled off of Ghosts starter Alejandro Barraza to drive in Jake Lemmerman with 2-outs to give them a 1-0 lead. It would be the only run Barraza would allow, as he threw 5 innings allowing just the one run on 3 hits. He struck out four.
Casper would tie the game in the fifth inning. With one out, Jose Rivera walked. He would move to second on a single by Rafael Ortega. He would score from second on a fielder’s choice, as Christhian Adames was able to beat out a double play. Instead of stopping at second, Rivera took the extra base and was able to slide in under the tag of the catcher Pericht.
The Raptors would regain the lead in the seventh thanks to the bat of Pericht. He homered to straight away centerfield off of Clinton McKinney to give them a 2-1 lead.
David Dinatale started the big Ghosts seventh inning with a double. He would score on a single by Anthony Aguilera, who would move to third on a one out single by Ortega. He would then score on an error by Pericht. With 2 down and the Ghosts up 4-2 Blake McDade would double in two runs. The Ghosts would score 5 runs in the inning.
Ogden would tack on two runs in the ninth, but that was all they could muster as the Ghosts would go onto win 6-4.
Ortega led the Ghosts by going 3-for-4. Six different Ghosts scored runs.
Pericht also went 3-for-4 with 3 RBI. He also scored two runs.
Game two of the three game series will be Tuesday night at Mike Lansing Field. First pitch is set for 7:05. Right Alvin Mejias will get the start for the Ghosts against lefty Carlos Frias.
