The Mudcats opened the regular season hosting the Swartz Creek Dragons for a doubleheader at Joe Pitock Field on the campus of Grand Blanc High School. Justin Pijaszek picked up the win with a complete game on the mound, striking out six along the way.
The Mudcats got on the board first with a pair of runs in the third when Andrew Morningstar drove home Tyler Hitchcock and Tim Hayden with a two-out single. Swartz Creek answered with two of their own in the fourth to send the game to the fifth inning tied at two.
Brian Caine and Morningstar reached base to lead off the fifth, and were on 2nd & 3rd with nobody out when Jason Caine hit into a fielder's choice, his brother being retired at home. A stolen base later though, Jack Scribner singled home two to put the Mudcats on top to stay.
The Mudcats got two more in the sixth when Hitchcock scored on Brian Caine's RBI groundout and Tim Hayden stole home on the back end of a double steal.
