Portland Mavericks @ Castle Rock Hounds |
|
|---|---|
| Series Preview: | Division rivals clash as the Portland Mavericks come to Castle Rock to face the Hounds. Castle Rock has been on a bit of run lately, and are looking to pick up some games on Fort Worth in the Division. But, the Mavericks are not a pushover. |
| Game #1: | It’s a pitchers duel in this one, as Gil Heredia and Dustin Hermanson face off. Hermanson is lights out, getting a CG shutout for Castle Rock. Heredia is excellent as well, allowing just one run in 7.1 IP. But, that was enough for Castle Rock, as the final score was 1-0. Easley scored Tatis on a sac fly to get the game-winner.
WP: Hermanson (7-2) |
| Game #2: | Another tight contest, as it was 2-1 heading into the bottom of the 8th. But, the Hounds explode for 3 runs, keyed by a pinch-hit 2-RBI double by JT Snow off of Wall to take a 4-2 lead into the 9th, which they would hold on to. Both Pettitte and Sirotka pitched well in their starts.
WP: Quantrill (3-3) |
| Game #3: | The Hounds jump all over Kile, sending him to the showers after just 2.2IP and giving up five earned runs. Castle Rock scores in each of the first five innings. Meanwhile, Kenny Rogers is pitching a gem, going 8 innings, allowing only 2 hits and 0 runs. Easley, Joe Carter and Mike Sweeney all pick up 3 hits in the 8-0 victory as Castle Rock takes the 3-0 series lead.
WP: Rogers (7-3) |
| Game #4: | Bonds leads off the bottom of the 1st with a solo shot, but Bobby Smith retaliates for Portland in the 2nd to even it at 1-1. Zeile extends the lead to 3-1 for Portland with a 2-run homer. The Hounds claw back into it and make it 4-3, but Zeile hits another homer. And, amazingly, Zeile hits a third homer in the 9th inning to make it 9-3. Todd Zeile making a case for Player of the Week in just this game! Castle Rock manages to score three runs in the bottom of the 9th, but it is not enough. The final is 9-6, Portland. Zeile goes 4-5 with 3 homers and 6 RBI in the game.
WP: Castillo (7-2) |
| Game #5: | Portland jumps out to an early 3-1 lead, but Castle Rock slowly comes back and pulls ahead with a Easley solo homer in the bottom of the 8th to take a 4-3 lead. Mike Simms then delivers a clutch 2-out 2-RBI single as a pinch-hitter to make it 6-3. Simas finishes it for Castle Rock, and they take the 4-1 series lead.
WP: Bohanon (2-5) |
| Game #6: | It’s a back-and-forth affair with each team leading for a bit in the early innings. The Hounds are down 3-2 going into the bottom of the 7th when Bonds delivers a 2-run homer off of Mecir to make it 4-3 Castle Rock. Benitez and Simas shut down Portland for the last two innings and 4-3 is the final, as the Hounds take the series 5-1.
WP: Quantrill (4-3) |
| Series Summary: | Although the games were mostly close, Castle Rock’s bullpen was excellent and their hitting was timely enough to deliver a 5-1 series victory. |

The Gas Hornets out-homered Hampton 3-2 in the game (with all homers coming against starter Rolando Arrojo) but all but one of the home runs were with the bases empty. Only Lenny Harris with a two-run shot in the 2nd inning came with runners aboard. W-Graves (2-1) L-Wetteland (2-3) Sv-Gordon (16) HR-MGH: Kendall (6), G.Anderson (5), Harris (2); HAM:Vaughn (22), Rodriguez (7) |

| Game #6: | Mike Redmond gave the Huskies the lead to stay after blasting a three-run shot off closer John Wetteland in the bottom of the 8th to give Hampton an 8-6 win. Ricky Gutierrez ended a 6-week slump by going 3/3 with two runs scored and two driven in in the contest. W-Gordon (2-0) L-Bones (3-2) Sv-Speier (1) HR-HAM: McRae (8), Redmond (2) |
