An excellent effort by Ryan ODell spurred the RR Construction (1-0) to a 4-1 win over the Newport (0-1) on Friday at Cardines Field.

ODell's nine strikeouts were enough to push the RR Construction past the Newport. ODell allowed one earned run, four hits and one walk over nine innings.

Joe Yankee put himself in scoring position with two extra-base hits for the RR Construction. He doubled in the fourth and eighth innings.

Frank Holbrook was charged with his first loss of the year. He lasted just 7 2/3 innings, walked none, struck out five, and allowed four runs.
