-Deadwood won their first game of the season 5-3 in 10 innings over
divison rivals the Montreal Royals. 3B Ken Caminiti homered in the top
of the 10th to secure the win. Paul Assenmacher notched the win, in
relief of Randy Johnson, while Bart Colon got his first career save.
-Just before game time, Deadwood GM announced that 37 year old OF Rob
Deer signed a minor league contract with AAA Dodge City. Deer will
report to Tombstone for extended spring training. It is expected that
Deer will eventually supply some needed power off of Deadwood's bench.
-INJURIES
None to report...
-Trade talks:
Deadwood was a late entry in the Bobby Witt sweepstakes, offering a
couple minor league pitchers, but is not expected to land the pitcher.
