The Swamp Bats take the season opener 7-0 in a rain shortened affair. Keene wasted no time getting on the board early and often. In the first inning they got off on the right foot as the first two batters of the season, Mark Podlas and Alex Chittenden reached on base hits, clean up hitter Kevin Brown then cracked a double and later scored and scored on Forrest Chadwick's infield single and error. Vermont starter, Ryan Fasano, lasted 3 innings giving up 8 hits and 5 earned runs. Chittenden and Brett Barrett paced the Swambats 13 hit night.
Keene starter Jeff Thompson went 4 innings giving up no runs on only 3 hits. Tyle Skulina came on in the 5th and pitched 2 1/3 innings allowing no runs and only 1 hit.
The game was called due to thunder and lightning in the area in the top of the 6th with 1 out, giving the Swamp Bats their first victory of the year. They are back in action thursday night against Holyoke.
