Game 3

Austin Uniforms - Portland Uniforms

Notes
Austin was looking to become the third team to sweep another, against the defending champs no less. Portland's game started bad right away. Double, single, homer to start the top of the first. Angel Berroa, the first batter in the bottom of the first hit a homer, and it looked like it would be a bad pitching match up. Then Bobby Bradley settled in and started rolling. After that homer, in 4 innings he gave up 4 more hits, all singles. Khalil Greene hit a homer in the top of the second to oust Ainsworth, who took the loss.

Omaha Uniforms - Orlando Uniforms

Notes
Wild game. This game was the second highest scoring game in CBL history. Only game 3 in the Taylor Cup was higher. Orlando jumped on Omaha early. And I mean jumped. 7 runs were scored in the second, which made it 8-0. Joe Crede had a grand slam that inning, too. Then, in the 3rd, Garret Atkins hit a 3 run homer to start, with Craig Monroe hitting one to make it 8-4. Next inning, Omaha was at it again. 6 strait batters got on, scoring 3 runs, and loaded the bases. Dewon Brazelton settled down after letting 3 guys on board, to get the last 2 outs. it was now 8-7. Next inning, Jose Vidro homered off of Boof Bonser to tie it up. Then in the bottom of the inning, a walk, single, and a game winning double by Brent Abernathy.
