Overview: This is a tough task for the Senators. The Generals can run three (four? five?) starters out to the mound who are capable of throwing shutouts, with a solid bullpen, while Haymarket's staff has the 10th-best team ERA in the league. The Generals get on base at the best rate in the league, and they hit for power, too. The Generals also swept the season series, 4-0. While anything can happen in a short series, odds and statistics are firmly in the Generals' favor.

**Update: Jared Dobbs is not with the Generals any longer!

why did the game end last night with 2 outs in the ninth

Bob, I've received word from some one who was there that the game did actually end with 3 outs in the 9th inning, The boxscore seems to be incorrect. JLL
