The Red Deer Riggers battled through rainy, sloppy conditions to win their home opener Tuesday night at Great Chief Park.

The drill crew earned an 8-7 win over the St. Albert Tigers to improve to 2-0 on the 2018 Sunburst Baseball League season.

Jason Louis, Jaret Chatwood, Denver Wik and Levi Moon each had RBIs on the night for Red Deer.

Wylie Cunningham started on the mound for the Riggers before Davin Gulbransen pitched three innings in relief to earn the win.
