Game 8

Notes
Chuck James went out to stymie the Trappers offense, but they jumped out quick. Sean Burroughs hit a 3 run home run with no outs in the first. He settled down after that, but still gave up 2 runs in the second and was pulled. Orlando couldn't put multiple hits together and ultimately lost 6-2

Notes
Virginia hoped to become the sole leader of the league, but would have to go through an Austin team that wasn't an easy team to beat. Austin loaded the bases on Braden Looper, but he pitched out of it. in the bottom of the first, Hall, Bigbie, and Crosby rbi'd home a run each. Zeros were put up the rest of the game. Matt Anderson recorded his 3rd save of the year.
