We'll have a pair of G7!!!
HotN:
Koi beat the Asterisks 3-2. The Koi scored a pair of runs in the 4th innings to take the lead and from there Cashner, Neshak, and Miller shut the door. Everytime the Asterisks got someone on base, the Koi seemed to turn a double play (3 in the game). They also caught Bregman trying to steal 2b in the 7th when he was trying to get into scoring position. Miller hasn't allowed in hit in 2+ innings picking up his 2nd save in the series.
G7 pitching matchup:
Severino (Koi) vs Santana (***)
Honorable Mention:
Kraken win 5-3 over the ACL's in a sloppy game with 4 errors. Stanton and Beltre accounted for virtually all of the Kraken offense going 4-7 with 3 runs, 5 RBI, and 2 HR.
G7 pitching matchup:
Carrasco (ACL's) vs Hendricks (Kraken)
***************
On paper I'd probably give the SP edge to both of the visiting teams. But the Asterisks and Kraken have the advantage of playing at home. So it's anyone's guess who will advance.
