Tweeners 3, Rhinos 2

Tweeners and Rhinos had both cleared their schedules on a Tuesday afternoon and it was all systems go for S-O-M. Except Hal refused to cooperate, and all manner of disabled firewalls and other gyrations could not allow for a net play connection. Resorting to the CM, the games proceeded at the Hooverdome, with the Tweeners taking 3 of 5 from the Rhinos.
Game #1 was a nail-biter all the way. Rhinos scored in the 5th inning to break a 5 all tie, Kenley Jansen tossed 3 scoreless innings for the save, Rhinos won 6-5.
Game #2, a 2-run homer by Zobrist tied the game in the 6th, and Tweeners scored 3 in the 8th off Jansen to win 5-3.
Game #3, Rhinos out-hit Tweeners 11 to 3, but Tweeners out-score Rhinos 1-0, Gio Gonzalez over Tim Hudson.
Game #4 Kemp and Gordon homer, C.C. prevails over Felix 5-2.
Game #5, shortstop Marco Scutaro had 4 hits and Daniel Hudson completed the game without help from the bullpen as the NORM TWEENERS defeated the JOSE RHINOS by a score of 6 to 3 at The Hooverdome.

Hudson(11-8) gave NORM a solid outing. He was stingy on the mound, allowing
just 7 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. The pitchers took over after the 4th
inning as neither team was able to score again.

Matt Garza(3-3) was charged with the loss. He pitched 6 and 1/3 innings and
surrendered 8 hits and 7 walks. JOSE's manager was unhappy with his club's recent performance. 'We can't keep losing games' he said. 'It gets to be embarrassing after a while.'
