D.C., Tampa Bay battle it out

Only one more day of spring training before Opening Day! Last chance to experiment!

The Plunkers and Bushslappers played what amounted to another double-header in an 18-inning marathon that the Plunkers won 6-3. The game was tied at 3 after nine, and the two teams shut each other out for the next 8 innings until the Plunkers scored 3 in the top of the 18th. The Plunkers smacked three triples in the 18th! The two teams used a combined 15 pitchers in the game.

Magglio Ordonez was 5-5 in the Endzone Animals' 10-2 rout of the Straphangers, only one of which was for extra bases. Ordonez then went on to hit 4-5 with 3 RBIs and a homer and a double against Tampa in the second game.

The Iron Fist scored five runs in the bottom of the 9th to defeat the Cutters 7-4 in Hoboken. Reliever Brandon Lyon was charge with a blown save after surrendering 3 runs in 1.1 innings. Todd Helton was 3-5 with 3 RBIs for Vancouver.
