Retrievers Continue Hot Streak with Extra-Inning Win
The Atlanta Smoke got a superb performance from pitcher Manuel Rojas. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Northern Virginia. The Retrievers won the game, 5-3. In spite of the loss, Rojas was named the player of the game. He threw 7 innings allowing 2 runs. Northern Virginia reliever Cole Hall picked up the win to move to 1-0. Fred Pitts suffered the loss. Atlanta, at 2-10, is off to a dreadful start in 2025.

The most critical at-bat came in the top of the 13th inning. With two out, Munemori Ohara hit a 2-0 cutter from Fred Pitts for a 2-run single. It put Northern Virginia in front, 4-2.

In postgame remarks, Ohara simply said: "Here's to a great win!"
