Opportunity is at hand for Sea Dogs’ starter
Aaron Wilkerson, who has toiled through an independent league and the low minors, gets his chance in Portland's opener Thursday.

Wilkerson, 26, is not your typical pitching prospect, even though he was a small-college standout at Cumberland University (Tennessee), setting an NAIA record with 54 straight scoreless innings.
