The NRIs took 2 of 3 at the Heroes, this was played by Charles, he sent the results to me, but he did not post the results to the board.
In game four at Portland the Heroes took a 4-1 lead in to the bottom of the 9th. Stallings lead off the inning and was hit by Steckenrider. The next two batters struck out, Devers doubled, Posey was hit by a pitch and the Schwindell doubled to tie the score. In the bottom of the 10th Steckenrider hit Taylor who charged the mound. In the ensuing melee, the NRI's Gilbreath was hurt for 40 games. Finally in the bottom of the 13th Brandon Lowe homered to win the game for the NRIs.
In game five Mark Minor was hurt after pitching to one batter, but the NRIs won 8-0 in a bullpen game where the Fleming, the scheduled game six starter pitched 4 1/3 innings to get the save. In game six, Mark Minor came back to pitch eight innings to lead the NRIs to a 5-0 victory.
The NRIs were very fortunate,, at least in the tail end of this series as the Heroes, with a very capable lineup just did not hit against Minor and Fleming, a pair of decent, but not great starters.
