In one of the most drawn-out games ever played at salsa-swinging Clifford, the O's offense outlasted the Red Sox plate patience. The Red Sox were helped out by an Orioles' staff that hit 5 batters and walked 9 before the lights went out with 2 outs in the 7th. Ryan Bere picked up his first MABL win, pitching 4.1 innings of relief, yielding only 2 runs. He was backed by a defenense that played error-free ball, turning 3 double plays and nailing a runner trying to steal home on a wild pitch. Some highlights: Will Wilde 3-4, a double short of the cycle, hit a 3-run HR towards the softball field in Center. Jay Thomas hit a 400-ft single, circling the bases with what appeared to be a HR, only to be ruled out on appeal as he never touched 2B. Cruz, Magsam, Greenlaw also had 2 hits each.

Adam Clark pitched a gem for the Orioles, holding the Astros to 3 scattered hits and 0 earned runs. Clark got all the run support he would need in the first two innings, thanks to a 2-RBI double by Jay Thomas in the 1st and an RBI groundout by Jason Bressner in the 2nd. The O's added two insurance runs in the 7th that served as a cushion when the Astros tried to mount a spirited comeback in the botom of the 7th, one which brought the tying run to the plate. Ryan Bere paced the Oriole attack from the leadoff spot with a solid day at the plate: 2-3, BB, 2R. Eric Harvey pitched well in defeat, surrendering only 3ER and striking out 8 in a CG performance.

Jay Thomas smacks big 2-run double in 1st. Eric Harvey K's 8 in defeat.

Pitching in front of throngs of adoring fans, Kevin Brennan twirled a complete game beauty to lead the Marlins past the Orioles at Ross Field Friday night. KB was sharp all night, striking out ten O's and keeping his walk total well below a dozen while scattering five hits. He found trouble only briefly in the third when a Fran Morales single plated Davis and Bere for a short-lived 2-1 O's lead, but worked his way out of the jam and shut the door from that point on. The Fish took the lead for good in the home half of the third when Gregg Howard (2-4, 3 RBI) knocked in two with a bases loaded single and Jason Skypeck followed with an RBI double. The Marlins later put the game away in the sixth when an Andy Katz (2-4, 2 2B, 2 R) double led to a three run rally. Also with two hits were freshly caught Fish Al Becker and Kit Kadlec.

Ariel Martinez bested Adam Clark in a great pitchers duel. Ariel went the distance while K'ing 8 and allowing only 1ER off of 4 hits. Clark was nearly as good as he also only yielded 4 hits while K'ing 6, walking none and giving up 2 runs (1ER). The Royals struck in the first as Felix Villalobos (1 for 3, R, SB) singled and stole 2nd and then was plated on a deep Greg Kosc double (1 for 3, 2B, RBI). That run held up until the 5th when Greenlaw walked and on some heads-up base running moved up to third on a sacrifice bunt. With 2 outs, Mike Davis (1 for 3, RBI, SB, K) blooped a single to center to tie up the score. In the top of the 6th, Clark got two quick outs before hitting Matt O'Hara (0 for 1, R, SB, HBP), and giving up a single to TJ Unger (1 for 3, SB). On a pickoff attempt, O'Hara stole 3rd, and on the next pitch scored the winning run when TJ stole second and the ball sailed into the OF.

After a problem with the lights at Ryan was cleared up (thanks, Dino), the Astros jumped out to a four run lead after two and improved to 9-3 with a 5-0 victory over the Orioles. Eric Harvey started the game and gave up a double to the second batter he faced, Jordan Krall, halting his hitless innings streak at 14. Harvey threw six shutout innings to get to 7-2 and has still not allowed a run in his last 20 IP. He struck out 12 O's including a stretch of five batters in a row looking. Jaime Manciocchi pitched a hitless seventh. Tony Ricupero was red hot in the leadoff spot. He went 4-4 with a run scored and an RBI. Coop is now six for his last seven. Must be the new belt. Mike Vernon, Josh Vernon, and Jon Mayes each added RBI and Ron Viola had a double and scored twice.
