Cowell Helps Wolverines Defeat Generals, 10-4
The bad news for the Atlanta Generals: an opening day loss, 10-4, to the Detroit Wolverines at Atlantic Station Field. The good news: it was just game one in a long season. No one played better than Randy Cowell. He went 4-5 with 4 singles and a walk, while scoring 3 times. Juan Rodriguez picked up the win, improving his season record to 1-0. He struck out 7 in 8 innings.

Brian Cook hit a 2-run double off Scott Dubyak in the top of the second, which put the Wolverines in front, 3-1. In addition to the double, Cook had 1 single, while going 2 for 5.

"It's nice to deliver when your team's counting on you," said Cook.
