Notes and Comments

(1) "...and the fielder is going back, back, back......and it's gone!!!
Roneberg hits a three-run opposite-field shot
which just cleared the fence in leftfield"

(2) "Brett Roneberg got the scoring started for Portland
with a three-run blast in the third inning.
It was his third on the year"

(3) "The Sea Dogs appeared headed toward another victory
for much of Wednesday's game.
Brett Roneberg's three-run homer in the third inning
off Justin Echols gave them a 3-0 lead,
and starter Josh Stevens cruised through five innings, allowing just one hit.
"We had momentum early, but we really couldn't create anything offensively,"
Manager Ron Johnson said.
"We had the three runs off Roneberg's home run,
but we only had three hits (after six innings)."

(4) "The Sea Dogs (10-15) were easing their way
to their first sweep of the Senators since 1995.
Brett Roneberg's three-run homer off Justin Echols
in the third inning gave them a 3-0 lead
and Josh Stevens gave the Senators a string of zeros through the fifth"
