Dave Priestly strikes out looking on 3 pitches. Javy Fernandez swings at the first pitch and grounds out to 3rd. Lebron Williams works the count full and takes ball four. Ditto for Mark Parker. Danny Hernandez doubles off the left center field wall and both runners score! 2 to 0, Beavers! Jim Eighmy grounds out to the pitcher. We need a 3rd baseman desperately....

Bottom of the 1st: Jesus Lopez leads off with a walk. Jeff Johnson grounds into a 4-6-3 double play! Willie Solano grounds a hit to left to bring up the highly dangerous Bobby Manzano with a runner on base. He flies out deep to right!

Bottom of the 2nd: Buddy Hartman leads off with a hit to left. With 1 out, Bob Stallings hits a ground rule double to center. Johnny Alcorn, the big prospect, in his first major league appearance, flies out to center and Hartman tags up and scores without a throw. 2 to 1, Beavers.

Top of the 7th: Enrique Hernandez and Pinch-Hitter Jerry Alston lead off with back-to-back doubles! 3 to 1, Beavers! Alston goes to 3rd on a ground out and scores on a fly ball by Javy Fernandez. 4 to 1, Beavers.

Bottom of the 7th: New Pitcher: RHP Doug Maxwell. With 2 outs, Jeff Johnson grounds a single to right and then Willie Solano hits a home run to left. 4 to 3, Beavers.

Top of the 8th: New pitcher: LHP Rafael Rosario. Jim Eighmy leads off with a hit and Stu Redman bunts him over to 2nd. They walk Enrique Hernandez intentionally to get to the lefty, RF Jerry Alston, who came in for defense last inning. He grounds a single to right, but Eighmy gets thrown out at the plate by Buddy Hartman.

Bottom of the 9th: Still 4 to 3, Beavers. New Pitcher: RHP Ron Beckman. Pinch-hitter: RHB Byron Wheeler. He strikes out! Pinch-hitter: RHP Manuel Jauregui. He grounds out to 2nd. Jesus Lopez swings at a 3-1 pitch and grounds out to short and THIS Ballgame Belongs to the Beavers!
