We are back home, just for the weekend, to play the Los Angeles Angels a 3 game series. We lost 2 of 3 in LA last weekend. The Angels just completed a 3 game sweep of the Oakland Oaks at home and have won 5 in a row, including 2 against us. They are 4th in the PCL in scoring with 4.47 runs per game (Portland is down to #5 with 4.42, 1 fewer that the Angels). The Angels have passed us for the HR lead, 21 to 19. They are 3rd in fewest runs allowed with 3.21 per game (Portland is up to #1 with 3.05, 3 fewer than the Angels, though LA leads in ERA, 2.57 to 2.73).

Los Angeles Angels (13-6 .684 1 GB in 2nd place in the PCL West) at
Portland Beavers (14-5 .737 in 1st place in the PCL West)

LA: Allen Sanders (29-R 3-1 1.38) vs. POR: Frank Martin (27-R 2-1 4.13)

Sanders last start was against us and he gave us 1 run in 8.2 innings on 4 hits and got a win.

Dave Bailey swings at the first pitch and grounds one to 1st, but Jeff Austin boots is for an error and Shiyou scores... 2 to 0, Angels. Larry Hardy walks on 4 pitches....

Bottom of the First:
Dale Ainsworth swings at the first pitch and pops out to 3rd. Gary Long swings at the first pitch and grounds out to 3rd. Perry Templet works the count to 3-1, but then grounds out to short.
