The Eugene Emeralds took to the road to play the Hillsboro Hops in their home opener and fell 12-0. It was the first road trip for the Ems and the first of a three-game series with the Hops.

The Emeralds have had a rough start to the season, going 1-3 with only three runs scored in the four games.

The Hops will look to continue their success as they will receive the addition of Arizona Diamondbacks first round draft pick, University of Nevada right-handed pitcher Braden Shipley.

A graduate of North Medford high school, Shipley was the 15th overall draft pick and is expected to have an immediate impact for the Hops in their debut season.
