Trenton earned a 5-2 victory in Game 1 of their 1st round matchup with the Atlanta Bandits. The keys to victory was getting 5 runs in the 6th inning and 8 strong innings from starter David Dunwoody.
Trailing 1-0 (on a sacrifice fly by former Traffic draft pick Paul Turnbow), Shawn Butler led the inning off with a game-tying solo homer to left. After Dunwoody struck out, Watty Miller and Bret King hit back-to-back doubles to give Trenton a 2-1 lead. With two outs and runners on 1st and 3rd, Stephen Mills hit a ground ball to short, which Atlanta SS Eric Baker booted, allowing King to score from 3rd. Magglio Perez and Vasco Lopez both followed with RBI singles, making the Baker error more costly.
Dunwoody was the star of the game. He gave up 2 runs on 4 hits over 8 innings, giving up the sacrifice fly to Turnbow in the 3rd and a solo shot to 3B Albie Torres in the 8th. In both the 5th and 6th innings he stranded runners on first and third with two outs. He walked 2 and struck out 4.
