Orioles Hope Opening Day Win Bodes Well for Season
Crowds lined up early in front of Nationals Park, eagerly awaiting the start of the 2024 Whalehead League Baseball season. On the mound was German Marquez for the visiting Baltimore Orioles and Brayan Bello for the hometown Washington Nationals. In a spirited contest, the Orioles pulled out the win, defeating the Nationals by the score of 8-7. Especially impressive was Willson Contreras. The win belongs to Spencer Howard in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Aroldis Chapman took the loss for Washington. Anthony Gose earned the save for Baltimore, his 1st of the year.

The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Michael Stefanic came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Washington pitcher Aroldis Chapman, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Baltimore on top, 7-6.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Stefanic.
