The Tri-City ValleyCats kicked off the 2013 season with a 9-3 victory over New York-Penn League rival Vermont on Monday.

The offense really got going, with 15 hits, four from Jon Kemmer (left), who also hit his first pro home run.

Here is a link to my story on the offensive cranking it up on opening night.

Here is a link to a fan story I wrote for news on the season-opener at Joe Bruno Stadium.

Here is a link to a preview story I wrote about the franchise, which has quotes from both president Bill Gladstone and general manager Rick Murphy.
