Sea Cats Even Series at Two Apiece

SOUTH CAROLINA - The South Carolina Sea Cats have tied the Eck League Division
Series against the Akron Ryche at two games apiece thanks to an offensive 
explosion resulting in ten runs on eleven hits.  The Sea Cats hit three homers on
the day, including another three-run blast by their pitcher.

Pitching on just three days of rest after a 111-pitch Game One outing, Glavine was
less than his usual stellar self, allowing three runs through five innings, but
he pitched well enough to get his first win of this series.  Akron starter Jarrod
Washburn was awful, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks through only
three innings of work.

The Ryche drew first blood in the second inning, scoring a run on two fielder's
choice grounders.  South Carolina then came out swinging in the second.  Glen-
allen Hill led off the inning with a homer, and after a base hit and a walk,
Glavine stepped to the plate and delivered a three-run blast - the second three-
run homer by a Sea Cat pitcher this series.

The next inning, Akron second baseman Quilvio Veras bashed a two-run homer that
was quickly answered by a two-run single by South Carolina's second baseman,
Warren Morris, in the bottom of the inning.

The Sea Cats added four more on a solo homer by Barry Larkin, an RBI single by
Morris, a sac fly by Mitch Meluskey and an RBI single by Mike Sweeney, while 
Akron managed to push across just one more run on a Mark Quinn solo shot off Rich
Garces.

With today's 10-4 win, the Sea Cats and Ryche are now looking at a best-of-three
series.
