Portland Beavers (24-34 .414 15 GB in 7th place in the PCL West) at
Seattle Rainiers (18-39 .316 20.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the PCL West)

POR: Rondey Moe (26-R 0-2 2.05) vs. SEA: Bill Foley (27-R 2-8 3.53) Silver Slugger

Moe has made 3 starts since joining the Beavers and they have all been pretty good, but we have not scored him many runs. So, this game we will score him some runs, but he will get blown up...

Foley was 2-1 against us last year, but all three outings were decent starts.

Top of the First:

Rick Woodell grounds out to 2nd. Jose Julio takes a 3-2 pitch for strike three... Fernando Martinez strikes out...

Bottom of the First:

Juan Garza walks on 4 pitches... Adam Carter grounds out to short and Garza goes to 2nd. Ronaldo Entrevinhas pops out to center. Luis Hernandez, the ex-Beaver, pops out to 2nd!

Bottom of the Second:

For the second straight inning, the lead off man (Terry Mohlman, this time) walks on 4 pitches. The next two strike out, but Don Kelly grounds a hit to center and Mohlman goes to 3rd. Silver Slugger P Bill Foley lines a hit to center and Mohlman scores. 1 to 0, Rainiers.

Top of the Fourth:
With 1 out, Jose Julio reaches on an error by 3B Ronaldo Entrevinhas. He steals 2nd. Fernando Martinez takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4. Glenn Snowden, who has been rather hot of late, is up to bat, but we decide to not let him hit... Julio gets caught stealing 3rd for out #2 and Martinez gets caught stealing 2nd for out #3....

Bottom of the Fourth:

Carlos Lopez leads off with a single and steals 2nd. P Rondey Moe strikes out the next two, but Silver Slugger P Bill Foley swings at the first pitch he sees and doubles down the right field line... 2 to 0, Rainiers. P Foley has both RBI.

Through six innings, we have yet to get a hit....

Top of the Seventh:
Rick Woodell lines our first hit of the game to left and Carlos Lopez muffs the pickup for an error and Woodell is on 2nd. P Bill Foley, not used to runners being on base, balks Woodell to 3rd. With the infield in, Jose Julio grounds one through the left side for a hit and Woodell scores! 2 to 1, Rainiers. With 1 out, Julio steals 2nd. With 2 outs, Shannon Kuchta bloops a hit to right and Julio scores! Tie game: 2 to 2.

Top of the Ninth:

P Bill Foley still in the game with 102 pitches under his belt. Top of our order is up. With 1 out, Jose Julio grounds a hit to left. That does it for P Foley. New Pitcher: Jesse Borley (34-R), their closer with a 2.33 ERA and only 17 H in 27 IP. He threw 34 pitches yesterday in an inning where he gave us 4 unearned runs. Julio gets caught stealing on a pitchout.... 2 outs. Fernando Martinez grounds out to short...

Bottom of the Ninth:

On the Hill: Rich Larkin (22-R), beginning his 2nd inning of work after a perfect 8th. Orlando Rosa grounds a hit to right... If Larkin gives up 4 straight hits here now, I am quitting Baseball.... Don Kelly tries to bunt the runner over, but pops out to 3rd. Rosa steals 2nd... Well they won't need 4 hits now... LF Chris Simpson (27-L) grounds out to 2nd and Rosa goes to 3rd. 2 outs. Juan Garza swings at a 3-2 pitch and hits a home run down the right field line.... What else can be said?.... You ought to know without me having to tell you that that is Garza's first home run of the season in 139 AB....
