Game 9

Virginia Uniforms - Orlando Uniforms

Notes
Robert Ware had his second start in the CBL, but up against Shawn Chacon, his offense would need to help him. Blalock homered in the first inning, but the M's came back with an Abernathy triple scoring Freeman. In the second, Jason Stokes hit a solo homer of his own. The M's matched it once again with a double by Inglett scoring Hillenbrand. It wasn't till the 4th when the game was won. A single and 2 walks loaded the bases. Then, Ware walked Freeman which gave a lead for Bonser to come in and save the game.
