Big Day for Stenzel as ABCs Down Black Barons, 6-5
The 2001 season began for the Birmingham Black Barons with a loss to the Indianapolis ABCs at Rickwood Field. The final score was 6-5. Indianapolis designated hitter Jake Stenzel had a fine performance. Jack Billingham snagged the win in relief. He goes to 1-0 on the season. Lefty Gomez suffered the loss. Clay Carroll got credit for the save for Indianapolis. It was his 1st of the year.

Stenzel had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a 2-2 slider from Steve Bedrosian, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the ABCs a 6-3 lead. It was the 1st home run of the year for Stenzel.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Stenzel told the Indianapolis Observer.
