The 2017 Appalachian League championship series opened at Joe O'Brien Field on Thursday evening in chilly conditions. The Twins bats warmed the hearts of the home fans however with a 16-hit attack in a 12-1 victory over Pulaski to give Elizabethton a 1-0 series lead.

"I'm finally starting to connect," Robinson said. "You go through slumps and hot streaks during a long season but I am seeing the ball pretty well right now. This team has a lot of faith in each other and I know that if I don't get it done the next guy will." Munoz, who has been swinging the stick at a .353 clip over the last 10 games, continued his hot hitting with a two run double in the last of the fifth that brought home Crites - who had singled - and Contreras - who walked.
The Twins hitting onslaught continued in the sixth when Dixon crushed a two run homer to right off Yankee right hander
"Oh yeah, it definitely felt good," Dixon said. "I actually hit my first home run of the season against Pulaski so I kind of had some confidence going into it. This bunch was really motivated, we didn't feel like we swung the bats well but tonight started off with a bang."
