Game 3
The Terriers return home to their raucous fans, who are ecstatic to be hosting a Gehringer-Sisler Cup game for the first time. And what better man to have on the mound than the near perfect LHP Howard West? They have a distinct advantage in the pitching department as the Bells send out RHP Rich Nichols. The Terriers are hoping to jump on him early.

West shows some nerves in the 1^st as he gets himself into a bases loaded jam but strikes out CF Jesus Rosalda to end the inning. “I was a bit wild there in the 1^st, but I made a nice pitch to get him swinging,” West said post-game. He doesn’t get out of trouble in the 2^nd though as 1B Florinio Hernando continues to be a major thorn in the side of the Terriers, hitting an RBI double to put the Bells up 1-0. SS Telo Welter follows up a walk to 2B Pedro Mateo with an RBI single and the Bells are up 2-0.

Rich Nichols continues to just deal against this Terrier lineup, while West continually has to work out of jams. “I felt good out there. It’s been my dream to finally get a chance to pitch in a game of this magnitude and I’m not going to take it lightly,” former Archer Nichols said. He also credited the fact that he’s very familiar with this Terrier lineup and that made a difference.

Every time the Terriers get something cooking, Nichols shuts them down and it just gives the Bells hitters confidence. They pad onto their lead when RF Isaiah Stroud takes reliever LHP Mike Ormiston deep for a 2-run home run in the 8^th and the Bells are in firm control of this game and the series.

Nichols final line – 8.2 IP, 0 ER, 4 Hits, 5 BB, 2 K’s. Enough said.

Leads the best of 7 series 3-0
