Castillo, Sidewinders Wallop Rainiers in Game 1 of RCS
The Tucson Sidewinders started the Regional Championship Series in style, winning on the road against the Tacoma Rainiers at Cheney Stadium by a score of 9-1 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Sidewinders left fielder Samuel Castillo excelled. He was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs.

Tucson used the hitting of Del Dawson to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Sidewinders on top, 2-0. For the game, Dawson had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I think every team will tell you that the pitching sets the tone, especially the starters," said Tucson skipper Spike Peck.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma.
