Game 4

Austin Uniforms - Portland Uniforms

Notes
The last game of the series between these rivals. These two pitchers matched up great, Papelbon and Tadano going at it. The 1st innings were identical. 5 batters one K, one single, and one walk. In the second, Ricky Bracket opened up the scoring with a triple with the bases loaded. The lead didnt last long. The other rookie in the game one upped Bracket. After a double scored Dukes, Brandon Irons connected for a 3 run homer to make it 4-3. The pitchers held until the 5th, where closers were put in. Calero had a perfect inning in the top half. In the bottom of the inning, Chad Bradford redeemed himself from his bad first outing with one walk, then 3 outs to clinch the win for the Roughnecks.
