Game 10

Notes
As Orlando tries to even up their record at 5-5, Portland wants to take a commanding lead. Juan Encarnacion helps in getting some runs by hitting a home run, but Orlando was in the game going into the 5th. In the top of the inning, Dewon Brazelton couldn't get anyone out. In the first 8 batters of the inning, he got one out and left with 5 ER and 5 walks. Boof Bonser came in and gave up Encarnacion's second home run of the game. Orlando is finally coming down to earth.

Notes
Austin still technically had a chance to have a winning season, all they needed was 5 wins to end the season. But first, they had to beat Virginia, who is on a roll. Eric Byrnes, and Hank Blalock hit 3 home runs between the two of them to lift the team to victory. Austin just couldn't get to Mark Mulder while they still had a chance. Virginia is now 7-3 this season, and has all but assured a playoff spot.
