Game 14

Omaha Uniforms - Virginia Uniforms

Notes
Opposite of the last game these teams played. Mark Prior was going out to try and get the Cyclones' first series win against Braden Looper and the Bums. A defiant pitchers duel. This is the first time both teams had 0 runs going into extras. Looper loaded the bases in the second, then got Fahey out. both pitchers went at it. Looper had 6 Ks, but Prior got people out the ol' fashion way, even though his three strikeouts were against Hank Blalock. It came down to the 6th inning. Walk, then 3 triples. That is how the Cyclones scored 3 runs. Then Prior came in and shut down the Bums for the win.

Austin Uniforms - Orlando Uniforms

Notes
A terrible game if you like pitching. The second highest scoring game in league history, only behind game 3 of the Taylor Cup. Casey hit a 2 run home run in the first to make the score 3-0. I actually was like oh here we go... Then, Josh Papelbon couldn't get anyone out. 7 runs were scored in the bottom of the first, 11 batters came to bat. Next inning, a triple and 2 doubles led to a 7-5 game. Then after that, Elarton loaded the bases, was pulled for BJ Ryan, who gave up a double and triple. Both runs were on for Elarton, resulting in a 9-7 lead for Austin. Brazelton came in for the 5th, walk, double, and triple scored 2 more.
