Liang Handcuffs Blimps, Rails Seize 2-1 Advantage in R1
The Richland Rails moved to within one game of the Round 2 today, downing the Akron Blimps on the road at Goodyear Hanger Dome by a score of 16-2. Rails right-hander Zuo-lin Liang was named player of the game after a strong outing in which he threw 9 innings of 5-hit ball. The win gives the Rails a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-5 3L AA Championship.

Liang, a native of Chengdu, China, was dealing all game. He kept Akron hitters off-balance, while giving the Rails 9 quality innings. Liang threw 101 pitches, allowing 5 hits and striking out 6.

"Zuo-lin's tempo and rhythm were good," said Rails manager Fernando Mendoza. "He was the key to us winning."

Game 4 is set to be played tomorrow. The scheduled starters for the game are Masao Myoga for Richland and Kazuhiko Higuchi for Akron.
