Axe Bounce Travelers, 5-2
The USC Travelers opened their 2040 season with a disappointing 5-2 loss to the Stanford Axe at USC Grounds. Left Fielder Fernando Ramírez was a big part of the win for Stanford. He went 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Dave Jackson snagged the win in relief. In 4 innings, the right-hander allowed 1 run on 4 hits. He's now 1-0 on the season.

Ramírez had a game-changing home run in the top of the sixth. On a first pitch slider from Mario Mercalo, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Axe a 5-2 lead. It was the 1st home run of the year for Ramírez.

"It was a good effort all around," said Ramírez.
