Portland Beavers (8-8 .500 4 GB in 5th place in the PCL West) at
Oakland Oaks (6-10 .375 6 GB tied for 6th place in the PCL West)

POR: Bobby Johnson (22-R 1-1 1.57) Rookie vs. OAK: Vic Harrington (33-R 1-2 1.71)

Today is Johnson's Birthday! He only allowed 4 hits and 1 run in 7 IP in his last start, but that was not good enough to get a win. 1B Luis Hernandez (32-R), who we traded to get Johnson, leads the Majors with 9 HR and has 22 RBI in 16 games... No regrets, though, so far.

Harrington pitched a shutout in his first start for his 1 win. In the two starts since, he allowed 2 runs in 6 IP in each one and got a loss in both.

Top of the First:
Jack Hinckley grounds out to 3rd. Bill Wilson beats out an infield hit. He steals 2nd. Melvin Rodarte grounds out to 2nd and Wilson moves to 3rd. 2 outs. Glenn Snowden grounds out to 2nd...

Bottom of the First:

Gerry Elliott takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4... John Trent strikes out! Javy Puente flies out to deep left. Tim Metts flies out to left!

Bottom of the Second:
Al Burrell and Mario Rodriguez lead off with back-to-back hits. Alex Montoy swings at the first pitch and grounds into a force at 2nd, 6-4, and Burrell goes to 3rd. Jack Reynolds fouls out to the catcher! P Vic Harrington strikes out!

Top of the Third:
P Bobby Johnson and Jack Hinckley lead off with back-to-back singles. Bill Wilson grounds into a force at 2nd, 3-6, and P Johnson moves to 3rd. Deja Vu all over again... If Melvin Rodarte fouls out to the catcher, I think the time-space continuum may be in jeopardy... Rodarte grounds one back to the mound and we are all safe from the universe imploding and the base runners are safe, too, because P Vic Harrington made a bad throw to 2nd for and error and P Johnson scores! 1 to 0, Beavers! Wilson steals 3rd. Rodarte then steals 2nd on the next pitch and C Al Burrell throws the ball into center field and Rodarte goes to 3rd and Wilson scores! 2 to 0, Beavers! Glenn Snowden flies out to center and Rodarte tags up and scores! 3 to 0, Beavers!

Top of the Fifth:
Melvin Rodarte leads off with a double to center. Glenn Snowden lines out to center. Shannon Kuchta grounds out to 3rd... Jerry Grant flies out to the warning track in center...

Bottom of the Eighth:
Gerry Elliott and John Trent both hit singles. Javy Puente grounds into a force at 2nd, 6-4, and Elliott goes to 3rd. Tim Metts swings at a 3-2 pitch and flies out to deep left and Elliott tags up and scores. 3 to 1, Beavers. Our Bullpen is pretty worn out right now, so we will stick with P Bobby Johnson, who is at 112 pitches. Only lefty Dick Register (27-L) is fresh. Al Burrell strikes out!!
