Notes and Comments

(1) Here is what the commentator said
(A) "a towering three run shot by Roneberg"
(B) "a no-doubter over the 'VIP' sign in right-centrefield"
(C) "that was all on it's own merits
as there is no wind assistance at Hadlock Field tonight"
(D) "went over the three levels of signage plus the 'VIP' sign"

(2) "Portland would jump on Phillies ace and the league's ERA leader,
Gavin Floyd (0.93), for five runs and seven hits in four innings of work
Brett Roneberg gave the Sea Dogs an early 3-0 lead
with a three-run homer in the first inning, his seventh of the season"

(3) "Portland led 5-0 after three innings on a Brett Roneberg's
three-run homer in the first inning and ......
Roneberg's home run extended his hit streak to 17 games"

(4) "Gavin Floyd, who entered the game with a 0.93 ERA,
is the No. 2 Phillies prospect, according to Baseball America,
and received a $4.2-million signing bonus as the fourth overall pick in the 2001 draft
After seven Floyd pitches Friday, Portland led 3-0
Jesus Medrano led off with a single off the Monster
Raul Nieves doubled down the right-field line
And Brett Roneberg cleared the bases
with a towering shot in the trees beyond the right-field wall
Roneberg, who extended his hitting streak to 17 games,
was one of the offensive standouts
He walked three times, once intentionally"
