Minneapolis Victorious, 7-4, Versus Albany
In the 7-4 Minneapolis win over Albany, the impact of John Bernstein was substantial. Bernstein was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Josh Lassiter got the win, improving to 1-0. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 6 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 7 and walking 2. With the loss, Albany sinks to 1-4.

Minneapolis used a clutch at-bat from Henry Pitcher to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Freeze ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I still think this team can play even better," Pitcher told the Minneapolis Times.
