Foster Lifts Fireballs to 13-5 Win
The Phoenix Fireballs began the 2016 season with a convincing 13-5 win over the Kansas City Jacks at Pyro Center. Most impressive was Phoenix left fielder Geoffrey Foster, who went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Héctor Márquez, the winner, improved to 1-0. He held the Jacks to 2 runs on 6 hits over 5.1 innings, while striking out 7 and walking 3.

Kevin Lyons, who finished 5th in the PL in doubles with 44 in 2009, chipped in a 2-run home run for Phoenix in the bottom of the third. For the game, the center fielder had 3 hits in 5 at-bats with 2 home runs, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 4 RBI.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Lyons.
