The Humboldt Crabs were back on the field this weekend with a series against the Novato Knicks. Friday's season opener saw our hometown crustaceans cracked by an 8-6 loss, despite a three-run inning. Saturday the Crabs took another loss with a 2-0 pitchers' duel, but rallied on Sunday to win 8-3 against the Knicks three-run barrage in the fifth inning. Photographer Jose Quezada was at the ballpark. See his photo highlights below.
