Game 11

Virginia Uniforms - Orlando Uniforms

Notes
With the sweep withing range, a pitching duel would decide this game. Aces Mulder and James were on the mound, and Orlando got up early. With Freeman on first, Brent Abernathy tripled him in to make it 1-0. Joe Crede came up big two batters later getting a base hit scoring Abernathy. That would prove to be enough for James. In the 3rd, the Bums tried to come back. Greenberg tripled, and with two outs, Blalock doubled him home. Even though Mulder had 5 strike outs, his team didn't do enough to get him the win, and the Bums dopped to 4-5.

Omaha Uniforms - Austin Uniforms

Notes
Two pretty good pitchers up against eachother in a Lommel division battle. A perfect 1st on both sides, then a few singles in the second kept the game tied with blanks. The scoring started in the third, Vidro homered to take the lead, and in the bottom of the inning, Chris Burke homered to tie the game up. The game was tied going into the 5th. Crosby hit a Ponson pitch into the corner and got to second base. Ellison was up next and hit a double for hiself, to take the lead for the Cyclones. Jorge Julio came in for the save, and tied the Cyclones for first place with Austin.

Portland Uniforms - Montreal Uniforms

Notes
A great pitching match up in Montreal, as they're going for a sweep. Doug Waechter pitched excellent in this game, but so did Eric Milton. Through 4 innings, there was only two hits, a single by Church and Burroughs. 5 Strikeouts were recorded, two walks, and no pitcher was going to stop. Eric Milton went out in the top of the 5th, and gave up a lead off hit by Giles. With two outs, Simon walked. With Ricky Bracket up, he grounded out with a chance to knock in the runs. Rob Bowen walked with a full count, and first pitch, Daniel Ortmeier tripled scoring Bowen for the Bleus' victory.
