Good morning baseball fans, it’s a beautiful day in Portland. A 9 run ninth inning broke

Open a close 5-1 lead and the Portland rockets cruised to a 14-3 win over the ft. wayne marlins thurs. nite at Carrington field. Portland wins the red Carrington league title with a 11-3 mark.  The rockets who have won 17 of the last 20, and 9 in a row now move to 24-10 on the season.

Rocket lefthander Justin miller who attends Manchester university, handled the bulk of the pitching duties. Justin went 8 inn.
