Game 15

Portland Uniforms - Omaha Uniforms

Notes
Portland has the challenge of coming back and getting out of the lower half of the league. Luckily, they have to travel to the worst team in the league's place in Omaha. Omaha's pitching has been a mess, with the "most potent" offense not doing much. Kason Gabbard had an ERA in the 30s. He gave up some 14 runs in 2 innings. He started off the game with a solo shot to Burroughs. Then got out of the inning. Great start. Next inning, 2 solo shots to Giles and Berroa. Next inning, solo shot to Pena. No runs in the 4th, and then a solo shot to Encarnacion. 5 runs against with 5 solo shots. Kurt Ainsworth went out, and threw a 2 hit masterpiece. If Portland can get this lucky with pitching, they will be just fine.

Austin Uniforms - Orlando Uniforms

Notes
A nice pitching match up for the final game of this great series. Orlando earned a 2-2 split of the series with this win. Ponson gave up a cycle to Freeman, Grieve, and Hillenbrand then LaForest doubled home Hillenbrand making it 3-0. Both pitchers went at it, and Shawn Chacon didn't budge at all not giving up a run. Boof Bonser came in for the 5th, and a Junior Spivey triple made it 3-1, but then Munson and Rolls got out, thus ending the game.
