Good pitching and timely offence





July 22, 2010- Sea Dogs vs Harrisburg Senators
Well game number 13 for me, and a perfect clear night at Hadlock Field. Tonight the Sea Dogs took on the Washington Nationals double a team Harrisburg Senators. The starting pitcher for the Sea Dogs was righthander Alex Wilson. Wilson who was promoted from single a Salem earlier in the season making his eighth start with Portland. Starting for Harrisburg was southpaw John Lannon. Lannon was accually the Washington Nationals opening day starting pitcher in 2009 and 2010. So interesting that he down here in double a making his 6th start.
So going into the 5th inning score tied at 1-1 Portland secondbaseman Nate Spears who was tied with Anthony Rizzo with 10 homers to lead the team hit a solo homerun to make the score 2-1 Dogs. The score stood at 2-1 until the 6th when in the bottom half of the inning the Dogs batted around the order scoring 2 runs on 3 hits, 2 walks and a sac fly. In the bototm of the 7th Chih Hsien Chiang who got off to a terrible start in the begining of the season hit a 2 run homerun to make the score 8-1. Sea Dogs added one in the 8th. Final score Portland 9, Harrisburg 1.
Next up: August 3 back in Portland
