Pregame Notes: Game 6 brings us back to Norfolk as we have Jose Matos on the hill. Matos has been lights out since we aquired him mid-season and he threw well in game 2 so hopefully he is up for the challenge. Back in Norfolk means we have the DH back, I think this is actually and advantage to the Colonials with the lack of bats on our bench.

Lineup: Kent Davis (CF), Roberto Perez (3B), Jose Rodriquez (LF), Pablo Fretias (RF), Julio Romero (C), Jacob Chaney (1B), Yasutoki Ine (2B), Augusto Rodriquez (SS), Cody Johnson (DH)

Game 6
Matt Hollis (0-1 5.87) << left-handed
vs
Jose Matos (1-0 2.57)

I am hoping to see some zeros on the board for New Castle the first two innings, we shouldn't have to fight back every game.

Inning 1:
Top: Lee Devlin gets things started with a ground-rule double over the CF wall. Ricardo Flores grounds out to short, moving Devlin to third. Augusto Guzman singles to right, scoring Devlin. Brian Cline strikes out. Jorge Alonso strikes out.

The Series is now tied 3-3

W: Aston George (1-1)
L: Dalton Whitaker (1-1)
S: Jack Casey (1)

POG: Lee Devlin

Recap: After falling behind early the Cavaliers fought back and send the game into extra innings. Dalton Whitaker was probably kept in the game 1 batter too many giving up a lead off hit in his 3rd inning of work. And the Colonials manufactured the winning run. Lee Devlin and Steven Wilson each had 3 hits for the Colonials and Kent Davis, Jacob Chaney and Pablo Freitas each had 2 hits for the Cavaliers.
