Game 12

Notes
This was the first 6 inning game since the 2-0 pitching duel in Virginia in the second game of the season. Bobby Bradley was rolling to a win, up 5-0 with big time hits from Austin hitters. Then in the bottom of the 4th, Portland scored 4 runs to get within striking distance. Burgos shut down the Roughneck's offense in time for normally stellar Chad Bradford to give up one run in the bottom of the 5th to tie, then an rbi single to Angel Berroa for the win. Juan Encarnacion's 11 game hit streak also ended.

Notes
With Portland clinching the playoffs, they need a dance partner. Virginia would have to win just one game to clinch, while the M's needed to sweep. It looked great when Shawn Chacon pitched his brains out to only have a one hitter when he was pulled for the save for Dewon Brazelton. He gave up 3 runs on 4 hits to get the loss, and Milton the win. Matt Anderson recorded his league leading 5th save.
