Keith Veeck has had a shaky year and it was no more apparent as today's game, as he struggled through the game even with a slight lead behind him. Getting into trouble in the fourth inning, the Bombers roared to life with a three-run blast that brought them the lead, holding fast against the bats of the Pioneers who attempted to chip into the lead. But in the end even the strong bullpen of the Pioneers were no match to the Bombers, as the series moves to Portland on Wednesday.

It was a back and forth game in Charleston, with the lead passing several times with a pair of solo blasts and the same small-ball that won the day last night. But what truly won for the Foxes was stern and stout pitching. Ginger Thompson, with plenty of experience in playoffs ball from last season, held the Tikis to a pair of runs, giving enough time in the game to bring it back to Honolulu as a best of 3 affair.

Bombers looks to be in control of their series and the win in game 2 by Charleston guarantees a second playoff (a third overall) duel between Cindy Lutrai and Jane Howard in Game 5..should be fun! :)

And Portland seems to have figured out how to keep the Triple Crown winner's bat quiet :-/ Ty is 1 for 8 so far.

But the team has stepped up and shown they can handle anything :)

I think I'm going to hold off another game before making any lineup changes... I was very happy with Game 1... This is going to be close! Charleston is always a difficult team for sure.
