Game 7

Virginia Uniforms - Portland Uniforms

Notes
A big game to really set the tone for the season of both teams. A 5 starter went out for Virginia, and Portland and surprisingly wasn't high scoring at first. In the bottom of 1, Jermaine Dye hit a solo shot off of Nieve. Then he settled down. Top of 3, the top of the order kept on hitting and scored 2, and taking the lead for the Bums. Next inning, Adam Everett hits grand slam off of Ainsworth, leading to him being taken out. In the 5th, Jason Windsor made his first appearance in the CBL. He gives up a homer to Jeremy Brown, loads the bases, then fans Sexson to end the game.

Notes
Somehow, the Austin Roughnecks remained undefeated up to this point in the season. A perfect record of 5-0, and going for a sweep against the Cyclones. Greene continued his hot streak by hitting a first inning homer. Bottom 3, Victor Zambrano gave up a double, then 6 singles, and got 3 straight outs leaving the bases juiced. Then ironically, the Roughnecks did the same next inning. Lecroy hit a homer, then 6 strait batters reached base, including 4 straight singles to make it 5-3. No runs were scored after that, and the 'Necks are 6-0
