Ottawa Tacks 7-4 Loss on Newport
Due in large part to first baseman Brian Nuzum, the Ottawa Lynx sunk the Newport Unicorns, 7-4. Nuzum went 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 4. The winning pitcher was Willie Lopez. His record now stands at 1-0. The left-hander went 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits for the Lynx. The Unicorns, at 3-11, have stumbled out of the gate.

Ottawa took a 6-1 lead on Nuzum's 2nd home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which he hit off Seiichi Yamaguchi in the bottom of the sixth, propelled Ottawa to the win.

"I warned the team before the game," losing manager Victor Sepulveda told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win."
