I believe Athens catcher is named Cory Bean.

Athens looked pretty tough last night. Gandee and Mccune both pitched out of big time jams. I think Lancaster left them loaded at least 2 times, and left 2 on a couple more times. Athens had a couple of key 2 out hits that really were clutch. Gandee had a 2 out 3 run double that put the game almost out of reach in the 6th I believe. Great opening win for P21.

Congrats to Atown on the win.

Sounds like Lancaster had a good game but Atown did what it took to stop them.
