Game #1:	CRH 7-10-1 / MVM 9-13-1 L-WUNSCH 2-1, vs W-JONES 2-07-1 Maulers going into the top of the 8th where the flood waters are released as ACEVEDO implodes after a 1,2,3 7th inning in relief of MENDOZA spoiling his stellar 6 inning 3-HIT performance to that point. The Hounds pound out 6 and tie the game at 7-7 capped by a JT SNOW GRAND SLAM. WUNSCH called on to keep it close but fails to do so as the Maulers score 2 in the bottom half of the 8th on a 2-run 2B by Jacque Jones. Maulers turn 3-DP along the way help. MVM 9-7.BONDS 2-5, POLANCO 2-3 2B: BURKHART (1) HR: SNOW (9) GS, BONDS (15) RBI: SNOW 4(25), BONDS (34) PALMEIRO 2(7) LOB: 4 SB: DAMON (2)Jacque Jones 2-5, Frank Catalanotto 2-4, Rey Sanchez 2-3 2B: Jacque Jones (1), Jason Varitek (7), Wiki Gonzalez (2) RBI: Jacque Jones 2(24) Vladimir Guerrero (41), Rey Sanchez 2(7), Jason Varitek 2(12), Russ Branyan (11), Wiki Gonzalez (6) LOB: 8
Game #2:	CRH 0-3-1 / MVM 10-11-0 L-ROGERS 1-4 vs W- Scott Schoeneweis 7-1Kenny Rogers continues his struggles and Scott Schoeneweis continues to baffle the odds makers with a 2 hit gem through 8. Ray King takes over in the 9th although not sure why the M-MGR chooses him with a 10-0 lead. I could use all the key innings I can get out of him this year. Anyway, the score was 3-0 MVM until the Maulers opened up with 4 in the 7th and 3 more in the 8th, no need for the closer to finish this one but that’s micro-manager sometimes. MVM 10-0.Vladimir Guerrero 2-4, Wiki Gonzalez 2-3 2B: Vladimir Guerrero (11) Wiki Gonzalez (3) HR: Vladimir Guerrero (16), Ron Mateo (3), Jose Hernandez (1) RBI: Pokey Reese 2(12), Vladimir Guerrero 3(44), Ron Mateo 2(7), Jose Hernandez 2(6) LOB: 4 INJ: Terrell Lowery 20 Days

Along with the usual offensive suspects for MVM Frank Catalanotto finally wakes up and goes deep for his 1st of the season a 3-run HR. He then takes a fastball in the rear as payback from the Hounds bullpen but no he’s worse for the wear. MVM 5-0.3B: CLAYTON (2) LOB: 4Vladimir Guerrero 2-4 2B: Vladimir Guerrero (12) Rey Sanchez (5) HR: Troy Glaus (10) Frank Catalanotto (1) RBI: Troy Glaus (25) Frank Catalanotto (3) LOB: 6

CRH adds the go-ahead run in the 9th and BENITEZ picks up the save for the victory. Rather uneventful offensive performances by both teams as the Hounds prevail.
