Roses Top Stars, 4-2, to Begin R2
The Oakland Roses faced a tough opponent in Cincinnati Stars pitcher Yusei Kikuchi, but did just enough to pull out a win in Game 1 of the Round 2, which they now lead 1-0. The Roses won, 4-2, at Fan's Ballyard, despite the Stars getting a strong start from left-hander Kikuchi, who went 7.1 innings and allowed 2 runs.

Had Trevor Story not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Story hit a 2-run single. That made the score 4-2, in favor of the Roses.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Story.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Fan's Ballyard in Oakland.
