Game 35

Portland Uniforms - Austin Uniforms

Notes
If Austin won, Portland would be eliminated. Portland loaded the bases in the first, and Giles got a single to take the advantage. Sean Casey would be playing in his last game, and he went out with a bang. Greene got on base, and set up a Casey home run. How fitting, as one of the best power hitters in the league. Willis rolled from there on out, not allowing another run. Pappelbon did. In the 4th, two doubles accounted for 2 runs. Bradford came in and had one of the worst outings in his career. He could not get an out, and gave up 3 runs in the 5th. That basically set the Roughnecks back, and didn't give them a chance to come back in the 5th. Portland has life!

Orlando Uniforms - Omaha Uniforms

Notes
A stretch run, a M's win means no playoffs for the Roughnecks. It started well with a lead off homer for Freeman off Gabbard. The 'Clones got to Jennings in the second after a triple by Buscher and double by Mathews. But that tie was short lived. Freemand homered again, then Crede hit 2 in on a triple. One last effort, Mathews homered in the 4th. But once Bonser came in in the 5th, the game was over and the M's are closer to the playoffs.
