valbuena-luis.jpgWith 2 runs scored in the top of the 1st (Luis Valbuena -pictured left- and Prettyman were scored by Flaig and Tucker), and another two
in the 6th (when Sabatella and Hall scored Tuckerill and Gary) giving
him a healthy 4-0 lead, the Everett Aquasox’s Jeffrey Gilmore (4-1,
4.53) held Salem-Kaizer scoreless through six innings tonight in a game
the Volcanoes simply had to win.

Another run in the 7th inning gave Everett a 5-run cushion, before
Salem-Kaizer’s bats finally woke up, scoring three late runs in a ‘too
little, too late’ effort that sees Vancouver rack up a 2-game lead
going into the final series of the NWL season; a 3 game outing that
pits the 1st place Canadians against 2nd place Lava-Men, with the C’s
needing only one win out of three games to soldifiy their place in the
NWL Championship Series.
