Game 32

Virginia Uniforms - Orlando Uniforms

Notes
A battle for first place heading down the stretch run of Season 2. Orlando jumped up early as Brent Abernathy hit a solo home run in the first. Then in the 3rd, the M's opened it up scoring 4 in one inning. Oscar Robels homered, then Ben Grieve hit a 3 run home run, ousting Eric Milton from the game. They weren't done there, off of Windsor, Orlando pushed across 3 runs. And for a sympathy run, Everett and Hall doubled making the final 8-1

Portland Uniforms - Austin Uniforms

Notes
Maybe with a sweep of Portland, the Roughnecks could sneak into the playoffs. Portland's buzz saw at the top of the order combined for 2 doubles, and 2 singles scoring 2 runs. In the second, with 2 one runs by Burroughs and Encarnacion, the Trappers scored 4 all but putting the game away. Rolls homered to make the score a little closer, but Willy Mo Pena rbi'd home Dye for a 7-1 lead. As a last attempt effort, Baldelli, Casey, and Dukes scored 2 runs in the 5th, but it wasn't enough.
