The O-Rays won the Southern League playoff with a convincing 10-3
thrashing of West Tenn before about 750 fans at Tinker Field in Orlando.
The game was a friday night game held on 9-17-99 and was the fourth game
of the series. The series went 3-1 for Orlando.
Notable players in the last game:
Orlando: Huff (3b) got four hits in five at bats.
Colina (LF) Home Run.
West Tenn: Speed (RF) Stolen Base.
Brock (CF) Home Run.
The local newspapers were lamblasting West Tenn fans for not
attending the games. the playoff numbers ranged fom the 1700 to 2400.
Orland haf about 750 for their csingle championship game,
AND a common problem in the minors is attendance to playoff games.
