Clearwater (0-2) placed a runner on base in every inning, but left 17 stranded in the homeopening loss. Zach Green, Gabriel Lino, and Herlis Rodriguez each slashed two hits, as the Threshers tallied ten in the hit column. All ten hits were singles. KING OF THE LINEUP: Scott Kingery moved up to the leadoff spot on Friday and reached base three times. Kingery led off in the 1st, 4th, and 8th innings, and worked his way on base each time, beating out an infield hit and drawing two walks. He also swiped second in the fourth inning. After being drafted in the second round last summer, Kingery hit third in the Blue Claws order for 43 of his 66 games. GOING GREEN: Zach Green turned in his second-straight multihit game to open the season, singling to left in the third inning and serving a single to center in the fourth. Green is 4-for-9 on the young season, after the 22-year old was limited to just 26 games in 2015 due to a wrist injury.
