Runs:
Bot 1: Nashua 1, North Shore 0 - Creighton scores on a wild pitch by Bishop
Top 6: North Shore 2, Nashua 1 - Mike Torres 2-RBI double scores Rodriguez and Fischer
Bot 6: Nashua 2, North Shore 2 - Omar Rosario's sac fly to center scores Gianotti
Bot 9: Nashua 3, North Shore 2 - With 1 out and runners on the corners, Duplissie chopped it to Torres at 3rd, he threw to 2nd to try to get the first out, Cordova was spiked, the throw got away, and Velazquez scored to end the game

Notes:
-El Guapo was driven in before the game and threw out the first pich
-According to Leahy the Pride paid about 400k for exclusive negotiating rights w/ "A-OK." ........ seriously???? seriously????? why?? that's more than the entire team salary. What the hell is wrong with the Nashua Pride organization?
-Cordova's leadoff single in the 3rd was his first hit of the year
-After his shaky 1st Bishop got back to back 1-2-3 innings in the 2nd and the 3rd
-Bishop adds another 1-2-3 inning in the 4th and has retired 11 straight
-...aaand another 1-2-3 inning for Bishop in the 5th, 14 straight retired but no help from the offense unfortunately! Let's go boys, Bishop deserves some run support here!
-"A-Ok" was obviously on a limited pitch count, and Nagasaka, the other Japanese pitcher on the Pride, is in to relieve him in the 6th... let's hope the Spirit have better luck against this guy, because A-Ok was absolutely dominating the Spirit
-John Leahy's early candidate for quote of the year: "Plenty of good seats are still available for Thursday's doubleheader against the Grays..." Really???!!! :)
-Bishop was lifted with 0 outs in the bottom of the 6th after giving up a leadoff hit to Gianotti, bringing in Donny Langdon to make his Spirit debut
-Davilla again proactive, lifting Langdon w/ 2 out and a runner on 3rd base to match up and bring in Derek Drage... and the move worked - 1 pitch, 1 out, and the inning is over... I'm liking Vic as manager already
-Urgh I spoke too soon as Vic leaves Drage in until he blows it.
-Cordova injured on the last play of the game, apparently he was spiked
