Charlotte Advances

Autobots knocked Elladan Corinvar out in the third, going to a 6-1 lead.  They could not hold it.  Charlotte came back with 8 runs in the 4th to 6th innings off Buttholz and the bullpen.  Autobots answered with 3 in the 7th to tie the game.  Lance Dixon had a 2 run homer.

Into extra innings, Bots went up 11-9 on a Fernando Gonzalez homer, but with 2 out in the bottom of the inning, Jim York saved the season with a 2 run blast off Robert Wright.

In the bottom 11th, Jacen Solo singled and stole second with one out.  After Todd Lee was walked intentionally, Ryan Ponder sent the Hawks to the SLCS with a line drive into right, with Solo easily beating the throw.
