He scored after a Mike Borrego walk and a Xenophon Passas single. Borrego and Passas moved a base when Melgar singled. Borrego came home on a balk. Passas and Melgar then came home when Bill tiller singled, Melgar beating the throw from left. This put the Roughnecks up by 4 runs to 0.

The San Jose Raiders finally got into the game in the bottom of the 6th. Alex Robinson hit a single. Mark Sofka then hit a triple that bought Robinson home. Mark Sofka then scored when Hugo Arias ground out.

The top of the 7th saw the Roughneck get back to a 4 run lead. Luis Melgar singled to lead off. He moved to third when Antonio Rodriguez hit a double. Melgar then scored when Paul Kent hit a single. Rodriguez came home when Bill Tiller hit into a fielders choice.

The San Jose Raiders pulled it back to within 2 again in the bottom of the 7th. Mike Lentz was given a walk and then Tony Patton hit a ball 371 feet to pick up a 2 run home run.

That finished the scoring for the game as the San Jose Raiders went down 6-4 in the first game of the series to drop to 39-38 for the year.
