Right fielder Ichiro Suzuki had 3 base hits at Kill Devil Hills where the
North Carolina Wright Flyers beat the Halifax Hurricanes 5 to 1.
 
North Carolina started with a bang, jumping out to an early lead in their half
of the first when they tallied 2 runs on 2 hits.  That scoring would be all
that was needed.  Eric Gagne earned the save with a perfect ninth, his 1st
save.  
 
The win went to Shawn Estes(1-0) who allowed 1 run in 7 and 1/3 innings.
Anibal Sanchez(0-1) took the loss.  He struggled with his control issuing 8
walks in 5 innings.
