Portland Mavericks @ Castle Rock Hounds
Series Preview: 3rd place Castle Rock hosts the 4th place Portland Mavericks. The Hounds are hoping to gain some ground in the division.
Game #1: The Hounds jump out to an early 2-0 lead, but the Mavericks come roaring right back and take the game by a 7-2 count. Both teams are hampered by poor defense. Bones was strong for Portland giving up 0 earned runs. Conine and Haselman homer for Portland.

WP: Bones (4-3)
LP: Miranda (2-7)

Game #2: The Hounds bat around in the 1st inning, and continue to pile on the Mavericks relief corps. Sean Berry hits two homers, Bonds extends his on-base streak to 44 games and Dickson pitches a quality start for Castle Rock. While the Mavericks had 12 hits, 10 of them were singles, and they were never close in the game. The final is 11-4, Castle Rock.
WP: Dickson (2-2)
LP: Spark (0-7)
Game #3: The Hounds jumped out early again, thanks to a Pagnozzi 3-run homer in the 2nd. But, the Mavericks chip away at it. It is 4-2 going into the 9th, and the Hounds bring out their closer, Adams. The Mavericks responded by plating 5 runs, including a grand slam by Joe Carter to take a 7-4 lead. Bonds adds a solo HR in the 9th, but a dejected Hounds team takes the 7-5 loss.
WP: Petkovsek (3-2)
LP: Adams (3-3)
S: Stevens (2)
Game #4: The Hounds look to even the series with Rogers facing Rodriguez. 8 runs are scored in the 3rd inning by only 5 in the rest of the game. The Hounds put together two big innings (5 in the 3rd and 4 in the 8th), and their pitching does well enough to get the W. Bonds extends his streak to 46 games on base.
WP: Rogers (4-6)
LP: Rodriguez (5-8)
Game #5: Castle Rock sends its ace out to the mound for Game 5. But, Pettitte gets injured in the 3rd inning. The Hounds bullpen does a nice job the rest of the way, giving up just one run, but the offense can’t muster enough to get the win. The final is 3-2, Portland, and they guarantee at least a split.
WP: Springer (3-4)
LP: Eichhorn (1-2)
S: Stevens (3)
Game #6: The Hounds feel pretty good after taking an 8-0 lead after 4 innings, but the Mavericks come storming back to score 14 unanswered runs and bury the Hounds and take the series. 14-8 is the final.
WP: Lopez (2-2)
LP: Myers (1-2)
Series Summary: The Mavericks take 4 out of 6 from a frustrated Hounds squad.
