Game 10

Virginia Uniforms - Austin Uniforms

Notes
Virginia had a great chance to win today, with Looper on the mound up against Josh Pappelbon. It was closer than they would've liked it perhaps. The Bums had bases loaded in the first, but couldn't get the run in. Things started in the second when Crosby homered in his second strait at bat carrying over from game 9. That inning, Blalock doubled in Herr, then Mientkiewicz singled in Everett. In the bottom of 2, two doubles from the 4 and 5 hitter made it 3-1. Crosby came up and hit ANOTHER home run. He now is tied for home runs this season. 5 strait batters reached int he bottom of 3 but only 2 scored as Rolls got out with bases juiced. Next inning, Blaclock tripled, doubled in by hall, who was tipled in by Bigbie. 6-3 now. They wouldn't go away, Matt LeCroy hit it off the fence, took an awkward bounce, and slid in safe for a triple. Khalil Greene hit a single, making it 6-4. Matt Anderson came in for the save, but first gave up a home run to Sean Casey. Wild game witha lot of offense. Virginia is now just 1 game back of first.

Portland Uniforms - Orlando Uniforms

Notes
Portland had the upper hand in this matchup, going for the 3 game sweep. Their pitcher had the better percentages with 6 points, on Shawn Chacon, who was a 5. Chacon got out of a situation in the first getting Sexson out with 2 runners in scoring position. In the bottom of 4, Brent Abernathy broke up a perfect game with a home run off of Waechter. Top of 4, Chacon let 2 men single, then walked 3 strait batters. The M's called on BJ Ryan who got out of the inning. Oh well this is over. BUT WAIT! The Majestics rallied. Grieve doubled, Hillenbrand walked. Then, with 3 outs, Brent Abernathy gets a single. Bases loaded, and new starting SS Juan Francia comes up big and triples. All the runs score, and the M's win 4-3
