El Paso-Barry Zito (11-6 3.60)
Game was over before it started. Ken Lee (0-1) surrenders 4 HR's in the first 3.2 IP and we're in a 7-2 hole. Zito (1-0) was certainly hittable (5.2-9-2-2-4-8) but we never had a chance. Allen 2(2) Bernada (1) a leadoff shot and Haynes (1) all homered. Riggs 3-5 and Lorenzelli 3-5 were most of the Iron Pig offense.

Green Bay-Matt Freestone (17-11 4.87)
Freestone and Hudson took the game to the 9th, New York up 1-0. Green Bay sent up PH Chris Thornton to face LHP Stanton Snyder, for Chase Utley (a huge question mark on the move) and Thornton responded by hitting a game tying PH homer to lead off the 9th. Green Bay sent up another PH, this time Eden Romero. Romero reached 2nd on a 2 base error by SS Tom Johnson. After an Arthur Fick K, Snyder wild pitched Romero to 3rd , Jorge Sanchez was walked to setup the double play. Snyder managed to punch John Porter out, bringing up Carl Crawford. On a 1-1 count Snyder uncorked his 2nd wild pitch of the inning, and Romero crossed home with the walk off, game winning run.
