Leftovers: Thunder Win CMWS Opener

A few extra tidbits from the Thunder's 7-3 win Friday:

* Two fans visited the press box complaining about the loud music.

* New Mexico baseball coach Ray Birmingham threw out the first pitch from five feet in front of the mound. He hit the catcher's mitt a bit high but with good velocity.

* The scoreboard flashed, "Play Ball!" over and over before the game, which started at 9:09 p.m. -- more than an hour past its 8 p.m. scheduled start.

* Jake McCasland registered 91 on the scoreboard radar. Jerome Montoya-Maston topped him by hitting 92.

* The Thunder were the home team because they won a coin flip, which decides the home/visitors for every CMWS game.

* A man watching the game from the center field fence got berated by the public address announcer: "Get down from the fence. Now!" Turns out it was actually the person streaming a live internet broadcast. Oops! The two shared a laugh in the press box after the game.
