Panthers Absorb 2-1 Home Loss
Hurler Mark Hicks gave the New Orleans Saints a solid start. The native of Haverhill, Massachusetts helped his team defeat the Carolina Panthers, 2-1, at Ericsson Stadium. Edwin Flores earned the save for New Orleans, his 3rd. New Orleans, now 17-11, has gotten their season off to a good start.

New Orleans took a 2-0 lead on Jesus Lopez's 6th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Lopez hit in the top of the seventh, left Carolina pitcher Lane Shaw visibly frustrated.

"Watch and learn," said Lopez. "This is what good pitching looks like."
