Port Orange (96-66) at New England (96-66)

Pretty even match up. Got Ladd set up to go in game one so we shall see. Hopefully OOTP 12 is wrong and they dont steamrole everyone.


Let me ask, the 1st sim is games 1-4, is that over 4 days or is there an off day in the middle.

trying to see if i want a 3 or 4 man rotation

Spoiler!

Atlantic League Divisional Round

Game 1: New England 7 Port Orange 4 (NE leads 1-0)

Oliver Ladd was great for seven, but a bad eighth - combined with anemic Port Orange hitting over the first eight - sunk the Hawks.

Game 1: Philadelphia 6 Carolina 1 (PHI leads 1-0)

Jason Barnes held the Spartans to one run on six hits and Pepe Longoria hit two two-run home runs for Philly.

Game 2: Port Orange 4 New England 3 (Tied at 1)

Robinson Rojas singled in Domingo Valles in the top of the eighth for the game-winning RBI spoiling a great effort from Paul Rogers.

Game 2: Philadelphia 3 Carolina 0 (PHI leads 2-0)

In his first career playoff start, P. Bourassa struck out eight over 5.1 while allowing no runs and four hits.

Game 3: New England 8 Port Orange 3 (NE leads 2-1)

Carlos Marquez gave up three in the second and four in the third and that was more than enough for a New England team that got eight out of Vickers.

Game 3: Carolina 7 Philadelphia 6 (PHI leads 2-1)

Former 'Steak, Marc Hughes' double provides the winning tally for the Spartans.

Game 4: New England 4 Port Orange 3 [10] (NE leads 3-1)

An Andrew Crosby single in the top of the tenth gave the Spitters the lead and Port Orange wasted runners on 1st and third with only one out iin the bottom of the inning.

Game 4: Philadelphia 6 Carolina 5 (PHI leads 3-1)

After Carolina tied it up in the top of the ninth, pinch-hitter Andrew Walters hit an infield single, plating Kurt Washington for the winner.

Pacific League Divisional Round

Game 1: NorCal 8 Chicago 4 (NC Leads 1-0)

Bob Johnson broke open a tie game with a three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth for the Bombers. Ambrose Barnes was ejected in the seventh.

Game 1: Albany 12 Steel City 2 (ALB leads 1-0)

New season, same people. Bob Elliot allowed only two runs over 7.2 innings while Jorge Reyna and Corey Bowden combined to drive in seven.

Game 2: Chicago 14 NorCal 2 (Tied at 1)

Albert Vasquez went wild, getting five hits (two doubles and a homer) while driving in five but Chicaco loses Paco Barron for a week after an injury on the basepaths.

Game 2: Albany 5 Steel City 2 (ALB leads 2-0)

In a game that could've been 15-2, George Bechtel dominated, allowing two runs on five hits over eight.

Game 3: NorCal 9 Chicago 1 (NC leads 2-1)

Chris Kennedy and Jose Lopez continue their playoff explosion as the Bombers score nine runs on 15 hits and six walks.

Game 3: Albany 9 Steel City 3 (ALB leads 3-0)

Albany scored five in the first as they take a 3-0 series lead over the overmatched Bulldogs.

Game 4: Chicago 4 NorCal 3 (Tied at 2)

Hideki Suzuki singled in Jeremy McCarthy in the eighth and Chicago heads to California with a tie series.

Game 4: Steel City 5 Albany 4 (ALB leads 3-1)

Leo Bryant was sensational and the Bulldogs live to fight another day.
