Game 16

Portland Uniforms - Omaha Uniforms

Notes
Portland could be 500 for the first time this season, which is pretty bad being 12 games in, and being the defending champs. Kaz Tadano tried to keep his scoreless inning streak alive, also. Juan Encarnacion hit a 2 run home run in the first with Dye on board. Then the impressive 5 point pitcher got out of the inning in 4 batters in the first. Giles tripled in Sexson, then in the bottom of the inning, Valetin doubles in Ensberg. 3-1 Portland going into the 3rd, when Tadano had his first bad inning. The Cyclones bated around scoring 4 runs. That was it for the hurler, when Kiko Calero came in to hold. scoreless inning for Perez, and Calero in the 4th. Jorge Julio came in for a save, which was reasonable, but uh oh. Brown walked, Berroa singled, then Juan Encarnacion hit another home run for the game winning run.

Orlando Uniforms - Virginia Uniforms

Notes
Orlando continued to be surprising. In the first, against the 2nd place team in the league, Shannon Stewart parked one off of Milton. Surprising Wells had the Bums in a stranglehold. 2 hits given up by wells in 4 innings. In the 3rd though, Stewart doubled, and Grieve homered. Those two players scored all the runs in the game. Brazelton and Spooneybarger pitched the 5th, and the M's pull a half game closer to Austin.
