London's Jorge Ruiz comes on to start the 8th for the IL and he'll face Angel Silva...
Silva swings and hits a 'duck snort' over the infield and into center for a lead-off single - which may mean trouble for the IL...
That brings up Ortega... And Ruiz walks him on four pitches as he was distracted by the presence of Silva at first...
Dominic Culpepper strides to the plate as the SL have a chance to extend their lead... and he bunts it - down the third base line - Aguilar has but one play , and he makes it with a strong throw to first for the out - but the Aurora pair are now at 2nd and 3rd with 1-out...
Coming out of the 'pen is Amsterdam's Carlos Romo and he'll be facing the Ghosts' Harold Stowe...
Stowe comes back from and 0-2 count to even it out, but he swings through a curve for strike three... two-down...
Out of the dugout to hit for Bean is Shin Seiki's Ryo Takahashi - and he, too, is greeted with THUNDEROUS BOOS...
Ryo turns on a 3-2 pitch and lines it past first into right - Silva scores, Ortega rounds third and heads home, Orocumojica comes up with the ball and fires a strike to the plate - OUT!!! Roberts with an excellent tag to end the innings...
But the SL get an insurance run as we head to the 9th...
IL - 4, SL - 7
