The Victoria Mariners Premier and Midget AAA teams had a successful home opening weekend. The Premier team split their Saturday double header with the Langley Blaze then won both games against the Coquitlam Reds on Sunday. The Midget AAA team went 4 for 4 with wins over the Chilliwack Cougars on Saturday and Tri Cities Indians on Sunday.

After downing the Cougars 2-0 and 6-5 on Saturday the Midget AAA Mariners had to wait for the Indians to arrive after they were delayed in their travel from Nanaimo due to an accident on the Malahat. The Indians got on the board first scoring a run in the 2nd. Victoria answered back with 2 runs in the 3rd to take the lead. Tri Cities tied it back up in the 4th but the Mariners were able to secure a 3-2 victory scoring another run in the 6th and shutting down the Indians in the 7th."
