Mantle scores 4 runs, Pilgrims Move to 2-0
Mickey Mantle helped his team muscle past the Houston Black Aces, 17-6. In the game, the Boston designated hitter went 2 for 4 with a triple and 2 walks, while scoring 4 times and driving in 2. The winning pitcher was Freddie Fitzsimmons. His record is now 1-0. The right-hander went 5 innings, allowing 5 runs on 9 hits for the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims, now 2-0, have stormed out of the gates.

It could have been a different outcome for Boston, had it not been for Josh Hamilton, the former first round draft pick . Hamilton contributed a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put Boston up, 5-1.

In postgame remarks, Pilgrims manager Mike Wallace praised Mantle. "The Commerce Comet makes my job a whole lot easier."
