Cooper Blasts Gnomes, Roughnecks Take Game 1, 4-1
The Ahwatukee Roughnecks started the Wild Card Series in style, winning on the road against the Yuma Gnomes at Tempe Diablo Stadium by a score of 4-1 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. Roughnecks center fielder T.J. Cooper excelled. He was 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

Cooper had a key at-bat in the top of the third to put Ahwatukee in front, 4-0. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run off Yuma pitcher Gavin Clark.

"The competition leap this year was tough to adjust to and I feel like there has been another jump in the playoffs," said Cooper, a rookie this season. "You're only playing the best now and everyone has time to rest and prepare for you."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Tempe Diablo Stadium in Yuma.
