Wilmington loses 9-4.
Six unearned runs (2 errors by Pinckney, 1 by Natale, 1 by Otness)
Blade hits a three-run shot in the 9th to make it look only slighly less embarrassing.
Never should have got to a third game.

Rozier was hit in the head in the third inning with a batted ball and has been hospitalized. No word on the severity of the injury.

Local news report says he tried to get up after being hit but had to sit back down again. I hope to God the kid's all right.

Two late reports on Wilmington (both from soxprospects.com)
1. Rozier is ok, he left the hospital and returned to the stadium after the game. Bet he's thinking that football wouldn't be quite so painful.
2. Buchholz has been told that, if Portland wins its series, he MAY be promoted to pitch.

Game Story
Eastern League RBI champion Randy Ruiz stood at the plate. Major-leaguer Hideki Matsui stood on deck. The tying run stood on second base, with two outs in the ninth inning.
Portland Sea Dogs reliever Edgar Martinez stood on the mound. His boss, Boston Red Sox General Manager Theo Epstein, sat in a seat behind home plate.
Feeling the heat, Edgar?
"No," Martinez said. "I feel comfortable. I feel it's my game. No pressure at all."
The cold-blooded Martinez delivered a slider and got Ruiz to fly out to right field to preserve the Sea Dogs' 5-4 win over the Trenton Thunder in the Eastern League playoffs Friday, before 6,157 at Hadlock Field.
Goerge Kottaras - Fitting In
The newest Portland Sea Dog got to the ballpark Friday afternoon, stopped by his new locker and checked his new uniform. The home whites with his name across the shoulders.
George Kottaras didn't have to look twice. There were the three vowels, but instead of one 'o' and two 'a's, there were three of a kind. Kattaras.
Oh, man.
"They were sorry," said Kottaras. "I figure it was because of the Maine accent and the 'o' must sound like an 'a.' "
Uh, no. But don't worry, George. You look like a guy who can think quickly on the fly. Better yet, it seems like you play that way, too.
On a beautiful late summer night when many in the big crowd came to see Hideki Matsui sting the baseball, it was Kottaras who doubled home the game's first run. The cheers were for him.
He didn't let himself listen or feel the satisfaction. He's only 23, but he is a professional.
"I'll think about that hit now," said Kottaras after the Portland Sea Dogs beat the Trenton Thunder, 5-4. "Anything I can do to help, to fit in, will feel good."
Blue Rocks Stories:
Game Story
The Blue Rocks didn't want to admit that the image of pitcher Mike Rozier writhing on the ground after a line drive hit the side of his head was unnerving.
But it was, as Rozier lay on the ground for several minutes Friday night before trying to get up and walk off the Frawley Stadium field. He was dizzy and quickly sat back down. Eventually, paramedics immobilized Rozier, placed him on a stretcher and took him to Christiana Hospital for tests and observation.
Rocks manager Chad Epperson said doctors told him Rozier had a CAT scan, but the results weren't available Friday night. Epperson said he was alert and that he was told "everything is positive so far." He was released Friday night.
That wasn't the case for the rest of the Rocks, who saw their season end with a 9-4 loss to Frederick in the third and deciding game of the Carolina League Northern Division playoffs.
