Nads 3, Tweeners 2

CM games at the Hooverdome.

Nads suffer the ill effects of the long bus ride to Logan County, dropping 2 straight to start the series. In the opener, MadBum threw 6 scoreless innings, Worley got a 3 inning save, Tweeners win 6-1. DAVE's manager was pretty down after the loss. 'We've really been sputtering along lately, something like 0-10 in the last week or two. That won't get it done.'

In game 2 Pablo Sandoval ripped 2 homeruns (both off Collmenter's card) and had 4 RBI at The Hooverdome where the NORM TWEENERS beat the DAVE NADS by the score of 8 to 3. The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance provided by the Kung Fu Panda. He popped a two-run clout over the fence in the 1st inning, cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 3rd inning and laced a one-base hit in the 7th inning. NORM had 13 hits overall, while DAVE had 9. Felix Hernandez(10-4) picked up the victory, allowing 3 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings. Josh Collmenter(5-3) was given the loss. He allowed 3 homeruns in 7 innings of work.

Thereafter the Nads' pitchers dominated, as the Tweeners would only score in 2 of 27 innings in the final 3 games. Game 3 was an 11-1 Nads blowout, as Dan Hudson tossed BP and only a clutch 9th inning HR by V-Mart prevented a shutout. Tweeners jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a 1st inning homer by Morse, then emulated LDMFs with 17 consecutive bagels while losing the 4th game 5-2 and game 5 by a score of 6-0. Collmenter atoned for his earlier loss by tossing the 3 hit shutout.
