The LumberKings took last year s opener, 2-1, behind strong starting pitching from Lukas Schiraldi. The season series also went to Clinton who took nine of the 16 meetings with their Western Division rival. LumberKing Starter: Ljay Newsome, 20, makes his first start with the LumberKings and first against the Cougars. The Maryland native have faced a Diamondbacks affiliate before. While pitching for the Everett Aquasox in 2016, Newsome faced the Hillsboro Hops, an Arizona affiliate, and went 0-1 in two starts, 9.1 innings of work, with five strike outs. Newsome got on the Mariners radar after throwing his high school, Chopticon High School to a 3A championship in A three-pitch pitcher, Newsome works off of a low 90 s fastball with a slow curveball, high 60 s to low 70 s, and a changeup. Cougars Starter: Emilio Varags, 20, returns to Kane County after starting 13 games for the Cougars during the 2016 season. The Dominican native is known for an above average fastball that consistently sits at 94 MPH but runs into trouble with his secondary pitches. During his 2016 season in Kane County, the righty went 5-6 with a 3.31 ERA with 69 strikeouts and 18 walks. Over the past two seasons Vargas has been working steadily in the starting rotation after seeing most of his work come out of the bullpen. In his pro career, he has worked in 60 games and has started 34. Opening Days In Review: The LumberKings have played opening day s pretty much down the middle of the road. Going back to 1956, Clinton holds a mark of just above.500. In keeping with the trend, the LumberKings are 500 over the last four opening days, 2-2. Rubber match on Opening Day: This will mark the second consecutive year the LumberKings open up the season against the Cougars. This will be the third time the two teams have played on Opening Day. They played game one of the season in 2003 with the Cougars winning 11-0 in Kane County. Last season, the LumberKings won 2-1 in Kane County Familiar Faces: The LumberKings have plenty of familiar faces on the 2017 Opening Day roster.

Kristian Brito, who was not on the LumberKings roster at any point in 2016, returns to Clinton after spending much of his 2015 season with Clinton. Rayder Ascanio who factored into many pivotal LumberKings rallies in 2016 returns as well. Ascanio batted all throughout the lineup in 2016 but in his limited time a a leadoff man, Clinton was a perfect 5-0 when he was atop the lineup. Liberato, another mainstay from 2016 returns to man center. He was the regular leadoff man last season and the team was when he was batted leadoff. 2016: The LumberKings enter the 2017 season with the longest title drought in the Midwest League.
