B.I.A. Looks to Honor Tenth Season with Strong Opening Day

The fans will come out, the media will be in full swing, and the teams will stare in awe as America's beloved kickball team, Balls In Action, take the field for their tenth season.  Whether you have been a fan since the beginning, or caught on to the team's hype in their later seasons, one can make the point that their success on opening day for B.I.A. has been one of their strongest qualities.

In the nine seasons prior, Balls In Action has a 14-4 record on opening day, with an equal 7-2 record for both the first game and second game.  The team has only suffered an 0-2 start once, which was during their inaugural season.  Only twice has B.I.A. walked out of opening day with a 1-1 record, the latest being last season.  The remaining six seasons, the team has enjoyed a 2-0 start after opening day, the first time being during their second season, an impressive 2-0 start that was accomplished with only four guys and four girls.

Tonight's games favor B.I.A. to begin their tenth season at 2-0, with their first opponent, BHP Billiton (Memorial Park Field #1, 6:30pm) and second opponent, We Got the Runs (Memorial Park Field #1, 8:30pm).  Coach Scott values the teams successful past on opening day and sees tonight's games going very well for B.I.A.

"You never know what to expect on opening day.  Any team can beat you, no matter your performance from seasons before, but our history on opening day proves how strong of a team we are and how ready we are to play."

Team Notes:
Balls In Action is 1-0 against BHP Billiton, defeating them last season 8-0.  This will be the first time B.I.A. will go up against We Got the Runs. 

Scott will take the mound for the first time since his season ending knee surgery.  He missed the entire 2010 Spring II season due to chipped cartilage underneath his left knee cap.

Rumaldo will take the field for the first time since the 2009 Winter season.  He missed the entire 2010 Spring II season due to a commitment in Louisiana.
