Givens Blasts Firebirds, Ducks Take Game 1, 10-3
The Portland Ducks started the Wildcard Series in dominant fashion, blowing out the host Phoenix Firebirds at Firebirds Ballpark by a score of 10-3 and securing an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. Ducks first baseman Chris Givens belted 2 home runs. He scored 4 runs and drove in 2.

Portland used the hitting of Geoff Walsh to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Ducks on top, 5-1. For the game, Walsh had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Today was a lot of fun," said Givens.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Firebirds Ballpark in Phoenix.
