Game 23

Omaha Uniforms - Austin Uniforms

Notes
Austin was wanting a series win against the last place Cyclones. Sidney Ponson was up against one of the worst pitchers this season. Kason Gabbard had his best game by far. In the first, Mathews walked, and Vidro homered to start the game. Then in the second the last 3 batters in the order got on, then Vidro hit a grand slam. It was all Clones as Gabbard held them to a shut out, and gave the ball over to Julio for the save.

Orlando Uniforms - Portland Uniforms

Notes
A pivotal game in the CBL, if Portland wins, they would be second, and the M's would have to play their way in. Doug Waechter pitched good, but Chacon was better. In the first, Freeman tripled, then MVP candidate Brent Abernathy doubled him in. Waechter retired the next 11 batters, but Chacon shut down the Trappers. In the 4th, he walked the bases loaded, then Simon singled in Sexson, then got the next two batters out to end the inning. The tie didn't last long. Joe Crede hit a solo homer, then Francia hit a 2 run homer after LaForest walked. Bonser saved the last inning in 4 batters for the 11th win for the M's
