Rollers starter &lt;a title="Chris Carpenter" href="http://www.lp2baseball.com/wiki/index.php/Chris_Carpenter"&gt;Chris Carpenter&lt;/a&gt; was very sharp, allowing just 3 hits in 7 innings, and registering 7 strikeouts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The teams travel back to Ybor City for Game 6, where &lt;a title="Brandon Webb" href="http://www.lp2baseball.com/wiki/index.php/Brandon_Webb"&gt;Brandon Webb&lt;/a&gt; will be looking to lead the Rollers to their 3rd Lp2 Championship, while &lt;a title="Mike Mussina" href="http://www.lp2baseball.com/wiki/index.php/Mike_Mussina"&gt;Mike Mussina&lt;/a&gt; will be looking to force a game seven for the &lt;a title="Finger Lakes Flashes" href="http://www.lp2baseball.com/wiki/index.php/Finger_Lakes_Flashes"&gt;Finger Lakes Flashes&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19785015-6946410485897335851?l=lp2baseball.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lp2baseball.blogspot.com/feeds/6946410485897335851/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19785015&amp;postID=6946410485897335851' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19785015/posts/default/6946410485897335851'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19785015/posts/default/6946410485897335851'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lp2baseball.blogspot.com/2007/10/rollers-jump-all-over-verlander-flashes.html' title='Rollers Jump all over Verlander, Flashes; Move within a Game of Championship'/><author><name>Rollers</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10795058316703422913</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06533482716029595491'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry>
