The Flying Dog's started the 2010 season off on the right foot winning their first two games of the Heritage Classic early bird tournament in Woodbridge, VA.  The Dog's are the top seed entering the semi-final round of the tournament after defeating Ermi's Baseball from the host Blue and Grey League 4-0 in game one and shutting out the VA Diamondbacks, also of the Blue and Grey League 17-0 in game 2.  Matt Buchholz picked up the win in game one and was followed in relief by Erik Huffnagel and Ray Riggles.  The Dog's plated 3 runs in the first inning and were led offensively by Fulda and Roebuck who had 2 hits apiece.

In game 2 the bats came to life against the Diamondbacks pitchers, led by Chris Fulda who had 2 homeruns and 5 RBI in the game.  Brandon Roebuck also had his first homerun of the 2010 season.  Tim Martin had a dominant start on the hill for the Dogs allowing only 1 hit over 3 innings while picking up the win.  Steve Canale pitched the following 2 innings in relief in the 5 inning contest shortened by the mercy rule.

The Heritage Classic will continue on Saturday April 10th.  The Flying Dogs will take on the 2 seed of the Signal Hill Pool the Potomac Hawks at 12:45 at Heritage Field.
