SUGARCREEK - Strasburg Tigers (1-0) enjoyed a combination of 4 hit pitching, a barrage of extra base hits and Garaway errors as they bombed the Pirates (0-3) in their season opener on the Garaway field.

After walking the 1st two batters and Errol Miller bunting safely to load the sacks, the little curveballer shook off the chilly weather and then wiffed the next 3 batters.
