Lumberjacks vs the Oakland Expos

In game one, the Lumberjacks were out of sync and suffered a one-sided loss to the Expos. When the smoked cleared, the final score was the Expos 15, Lumberjacks 4. A few bright spots were Brad Shannon's home run down the left field line and deep double off the left-center wall. Another positive was the 2010 debut of Jeremy Hernandez, Jay Almendral, and Luke Heil late in the game.

Game two started well with 5 runs in the 3rd inning after a triple by Jeremy Hernandez and base hits by Melvin Perdue, Brad Shannon, and Tom Macari, resulting in an early 5-2 lead. Orlando pitched very well but had to leave in the 6th due to a strained oblique muscle. With a 5-4 lead, 2 outs, and runners on second and third, the Expos pitcher hit a shallow popup which landed just off the right-field line, scoring both runners and leading to the victory for Expos.

Next game: Tuesday night at 7:00pm vs the Fairfield Indians (League game) at the San Leandro Ballpark.
