Game 11

Notes
Maybe, just maybe Austin can pull off a 4 game streak and end at 7-7 and in the playoffs with some help. Well, it didn't. Into the 3rd with a 2-0 deficit, Victor Zambrano gave up 5 runs, and back to back to BACK home runs. 3 home runs in a row, which led him to the end his game. Yan and Bradford came in just to stop the bleeding. Yan gave up 4 runs in the 4th, to make the score 11-1. Gagne gave up two meaningless hits and Greene scored on a Sean Casey triple.

Notes
If the Beach Bums won this game, the Taylor Cup would be set, and the only battle would be between Portland and Virginia for the home field advantage. It looked great, Braden looper had 6 Ks in his innings and was up 4-1 over the M's. Then they came back, two runs in the 4th, then loaded the bases in the 5th on Tim Spooneybarger. And then, the most anticlimactic ending possible, a walk off walk. M's still have a chance!
