ROMAN got a single to lead off the 6th & stole 2nd, but then got out at 3rd on a FC on a Uorke grounder. Then Yorke stole 2nd & Meidroth walked.

Lots of successful but unproductive base stealing.

Penrod allowed a run in the 2nd.

Kristian Campbell got Greenville's 1st hit on a 2-out single in the top of the 2nd after a Rosario walk, but they didn't score.

Campbell's the guy I would have flopped in the order with Coffey since he's actually been hitting (.822 OPS in 55 PAs in A+ coming into today).

I've been suggesting a Rosier promotion, so that's cool. He's replacing Arroyo who hit the IL. Esplin replaces Rosier on Portland roster.

Drohan in, Núñez out.

Frank German continues his rehab assignment he was doing in Salem with Greenville in the playoffs.

Hickey bases-clearing double makes it 4-3 Portland b8.

Still no out.
Blaze hit an rbi double & then somehow scored on the same play (same thing happened with Campbell in the Greenville game but probably slightly different).

6-3.

Penrod definitely settling in as the game goes along. 1-2-3 5th with a strikeout.

Up to 98 pitches so I'm guessing that's probably it, but it is the playoffs.
