The final game of 2002. There is absolutely no significance to this game at all for either team. Hollywood is locked in 2nd place and we are locked in 5th place. We could tie the Angels with a win, if they lose their game, but they hold the tie breaker on us with a better head to head record.
Portland Beavers (79-82 .491 26 GB in 5th place in the PCL West) at
Hollywood Stars (85-76 .528 20 GB in 2nd place in the PCL West)
POR: Bobby Johnson (23-R 13-11 3.13) vs. HOL: Gerry Sullivan (26-R 12-5 2.54 8 SV)
Johnson has won 2 starts in a row and has not lost in September. He pitched a complete game win last time out with 4 runs allowed.
Sullivan is 1-0 on two starts against us this season and pitched well both times. One of his Saves was also earned at our expense.
