Southern Maryland Blue Crabs
The Blue Crabs opened Regency Furniture Stadium in St. Charles with an exciting 3-2 victory over Lancaster. Clint Johnston singled home Eric Crozier in the bottom of the eighth to break a 2-2 tie.

Nearly 7,200 fans attended the inaugural game, which featured an appearance by Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson, a variety of opening nigh festivities, and fireworks after the game.

The stadium is on Piney Church Road in St. Charles, and is on land donated for the park by ACPT. In addition, ACPT made extensive improvements to the northern half of Piney Church Road to serve fans of the team. Improvements to the southern half of Piney Church Road will begin this year, and will also be funded by ACPT.
