The saying goes that "who strikes first, strikes twice." In baseball, there is some truth to that, especially when the visiting team does it on opposing fields; as the Lumberjacks did this Thursday beating the Alazanes (Grnam Sorrels) 3x1 at the "Mártires de Barbados" during the opening of the semifinals of the 63rd National Series.
