We are back home to play the Los Angeles Angels a 3 game series over the weekend. They just split 4 games in Salt Lake City. We split a pair of games with them to open the season here. They are 15th in scoring in the PCL with 3.29 runs per game (Portland is down to #4 with 4.89). 4.89 runs per game, but 3 total in the last 4... The Angels are 6th in fewest runs allowed with 3.97 per game (Portland is still #1 with 3.11). Their run differential is -23 and ours is +62. We are now tied with Dallas for the best, but we know who the better team is...

Los Angeles Angels (16-18 .471 4.5 GB in 7th place in the PCL West) at
Portland Beavers (21-14 .600 in 1st place in the PCL West)

LA: Bill Wertz (32-R 3-2 3.00) 2-time All-Star vs. POR: Steve Muir (28-R 5-1 2.45) Gold Glove(01)

Ballpark: Metropolitan Stadium
Weather: 58 F, Partly Cloudy, with a 9 MPH wind blowing in from right
Attendance: 21,054

Top of the First:
Britt Snyder grounds a hit to center. Dave Stewart pops out to left. Irv Hill swings at a 3-2 pitch and grounds out to 3rd and Snyder goes to 2nd. Charlie Allen strikes out looking!

Bottom of the First:
Jerry Suazo grounds out to 1st, unassisted. Brian Mitchell grounds a hit to right. With Mitchell on the move, Fernando Mexicano doubles down the right field line and Mitchell scores without a throw! 1 to 0, Beavers! Glenn Snowden grounds out to 2nd and Mexicano goes to 3rd. Kim Springer doubles to left center and Mexicano scores! 2 to 0, Beavers! Tim Higbee pops out to 3rd.

Bottom of the Second:
With 1 out, Juan Rojas reaches on a 2 base throwing error by 2B Jorge Prado. P Steve Muir doubles down the right field line and Rojas scores! 3 to 0, Beavers! With 2 outs, Brian Mitchell lines a 3-2 pitch to left center for a hit and P Muir scores! 4 to 0, Beavers!

Top of the Third:
P Bill Wertz lines a hit to right and Britt Snyder gets beaned. Dave Stewart lines out to deep right and P Wertz tags up and moves to 3rd. Irv Hill beats out an infield hit and P Wertz scores. 4 to 1, Beavers. Charlie Allen bounces one back to the mound, but P Steve Muir makes a bad throw to 2nd for an error and the bases are loaded with 1 out... Jorge Prado walks to force in a run... 4 to 2, Beavers. The Bullpen is stirring. Javier Rodriguez lines a hit to right and another run scores. 4 to 3, Beavers. Reid Phillips doubles down the right field line and two more runs are in... 5 to 4, Angels. Call to the Bullpen: Jon Weekley (27-R). Now, I brought Weekley in to face Dale Schafer, so we walk him intentionally.... P Bill Wertz strikes out looking for the second out, instead of the third as I had planned... Now we are facing Britt Snyder.... Are you glad you are facing Snyder, a .300 hitter now, instead of having to face Schafer the #8 hitter, batting .077, earlier? Stupid morons... Snyder grounds out to short.

Bottom of the Fourth:
Juan Rojas leads off and swings at the first pitch and hits a home run to right center!! Tie Game: 5 to 5. That does it for P Bill Wertz.
