Game 20

Omaha Uniforms - Austin Uniforms

Notes
Coming off their break, the Roughnecks were now tied with the M's for first. Luckily, the pitching match up was in their favor. A 3-0 Zambrano was up against a 0-3 Gabbard. In the first, Casey doubled in Baldelli, then Junior Spivey tee'd off for a 2 run shot. Next inning, the 'Clones answered back when Ensberg homered with Atkins on making it 3-2. Then in the 3rd, Khalil Greene broke the game open with a solo homerun, setting the stage for Chad Bradford to come in and save his 4th game of the season.

Orlando Uniforms - Portland Uniforms

Notes
A game for the history books, well, almost. Kurt Ainsworth was going up against the new 6 point pitcher Kip Wells. Both pitchers brought their A game. In 3 full innings, 1 hit was given up, which was a single by Willy Mo Pena. Ainsworth came in the top of the 4th inning walking one, and retiring the next 3. He still has a no hitter. Up to the plate walks Juan Encarnacion. Solo shot off of Kip Wells, making it 1-0. Kiko Calero came into the game to finish the 5th, which upset the fans. He gave up 2 hits in his first two batters, then got an out, K, and an out to win.

I actually didnt know he had a no no, and put in Calero. I tried replaying the last inning, but he couldn't get all 3 out.
