Game 14

Notes
Austin was looking to avoid a terrible 10 loss season, but Portland was hungry for a win. Victor Zambrano had the worst record in the league, but he just doesn't have an offense to back him up. He pitched a stellar game normally, but Doug Waechter did also. Both held the other team down, and it was 3-3 going into the bottom of the 5th. Austin had 3 solo shots, while Portland just had small bursts of offense. First batter in the bottom half of the 5th, Willy Mo Pena sends the Trapper fans home happy, with his walk off home run.

Notes
Chuck James was one of the few bright spots in the M's season. But Braden Looper wanted none of that! James went out and threw a 3 hit shut out to stick it to Looper. Looper gave up 5 runs in 4 innings, including 4 hits in the first 4 batters, then a 3 run home run to 9th Batter, Juan Francia. Looper and the Bums have one thing over James and the M's, they made the playoffs!
