Game 29




Austin Uniforms - Virginia Uniforms

Notes
The longest game in CBL history was recently played between Austin and Orlando. That game was 7 innings. This one takes the cake! 8 innings of great pitching. On top of that, Austin needed a win badly. Both pitchers rolled, 6 innings, 0 runs, and combined 9 hits. Zambrano and Nieve were pulled in the 6th for Bradford and Winsdor. Bradford loaded the bases in the 7th, then striking out Eric Byrnes. Elijah Dukes got the winning run, in the form of a solo homer off of Windsor. Then, Bradford loaded the bases AGAIN, then got Michael Holliman to get out, for the big win

Omaha Uniforms - Portland Uniforms

Notes
So you thought that the 8 inning game was crazy, I have one better. A no hitter. In Brandon Backe had an ERA over 8, struggling, and up against a hot Portland offense. The Cyclones were eliminated in their last loss, but they fought hard to troll Portland. It started with a bang, Gary Mathews Jr led off with a home run. In the 3rd, the Clones broke it open. Mathews hit another home run, Vidro was tripled in by Monroe, then Hermida hit a 2 run homer for a 5-0 lead. Meanwhile, Backe was throwing hard. only batter to reach base was a walk in the second batter of the game. He faced 10 batters in 3 innings. Mathews hit another home run off of Burgos for a 6-0 lead. Then Backe had 6 more outs, 1-2-3, striking out Pena in the 4th. Sexson, out. Giles, out. Then Angel Berroa comes up. On a 1-2 count, history was made. Strike 3, and the Cyclones mob Backe on the mound infront of a bitter Portland crowd.
