Ren Excels, St. Catharines Blows Out Kansas City
It should've been the best of times, but it was more like the worst for the Kansas City Dust Devils: opening the season before the home crowd at Kansas City Grounds with a real dud. Kansas City was never in it, losing, 14-2, to the St. Catharines Blue Jays. Earning kudos for his performance was St. Catharines second baseman Chih Ren. The winning pitcher was 24-year old right-handed pitcher David Damian. He tossed 91 pitches over 5.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits.

A key moment came with two out in the top of the second. That's when Ren hit a fastball from Paul Lessard for a 2-run single, putting St. Catharines up, 2-0.

"Not much went right for us," Kansas City manager Jaden White said, when asked afterward about the game.
