Pregame Notes: Escamilla is back in the lineup... I want to win this game so we can get our rotation back into 1-2-3 order. If we lose, I am thinking that Javier Uberuaga might get the start in game 5, save Sweetapple.

Recap: Karl Armstrong kept the Admirals off the score board giving up 5 hits and 3 walks in 7 innings, before handing it over to the bullpen. The offense jumped on the scoreboard first thanks to a Derek Campbell blast, taking the momentum from the Admirals before they could get started. Kent Davis lead the Cavaliers attack going 3-4 and Bill Giles and Steve Williams each had 2 hits for the Admirals.
