The bottom of the 1st saw the scoring started by the Oklahoma City Triplets. Robert Ginder led off with a double. He moved to third when Kurt DeSalvo hit a long fly out to left field. Ginder then scored when Edgar Diaz hit a ground out.

The San Jose Raiders got on the score board in the top of the second when a 333 foot solo home run by Mark Tice levelled the game at 1-1.

Jonathan Davis of the Oklahoma Coty Triplets hit a 352 foot solo effort in the bottom of the second to restore the Triplets lead.

The bottom of the 5th saw the game start to slip away from the Ramirez and the San Jose Raiders. The Triplets picked up 3 runs in the inning. Jonathan Davis singled. He moved to second when Robert Ginder was hit by a pitch. A wild pitch saw both Davis and Ginder move a base. The bases were then loaded when Kurt DeSalvo was walked. Steve Gill hit a single that scored Davis and also allowed Ginder to round third and power home. Jason Grossklaus came in and hit a double to score DeSalvo. This saw Ramirez pulled by the Raiders but the damage had been done as the score line was 5-1 in the triplets favour.

The San Jose Raiders managed to get a couple back in the top of the 6th. Armando Sandoval led off with a single. A double by Mark Sofka moved him to third. A single from Hugo Arias saw the bases loaded as Sandoval and Sofka decided not to move base. Enrique Huerta hit a long fly out to centre field that allowed Sandoval to tag up and come home. Alex Robinson hit a single that saw Sofka sprint for third and then turn the corner and come home, beating the throw from centre.

The bottom of the 6th saw the Oklahoma City Triplets push their lead out again. Tolentino Vitor was hit by a pitch first up. Robert Ginder got a walk to move Vitor to second. Kurt DeSalvo then came in and deposited the ball 367 feet away for a 3 run home run to make the score 8-3 in the Triplets favour.

The top of the 7th saw the Raiders get one back again. Manny Jaime led off with a walk. He moved to third when Armando Sandoval hit a long single. Mark Sofka then ground out but it allowed Jaime to come home from third.

Isiah Kelly came in to pitch for the Raiders in the bottom of the 7th. It was not to be his night. Firstly he gave Jason Grossklaus a solo home run of 410 feet to give the Triplets the run they scored this inning. He managed to strike out the next batter but after he delivered the final strike he pulled up sharply and held the back of his leg. He was taken from the game and did not return.

The bottom of the 8th saw the Oklahoma City Triplets move to double figures. Jonathan Davis was walked. Ginder was hit by a pitch to move Davis to second. Kurt DeSalvo was also hit by a pitch to load the bases. Edgar Davis hit a single to bring Davis home.

The top of the 9th saw the San Jose raiders give one last blast before losing the game. Mike Lentz led off with a single. A single by Armando Sandoval saw Lentz move round second and into third. Hugo Arias got a walk to load the bases. Enrique Huerta then hit a long fly out to centre that saw Lentz come home.

This made the final score 10-5 with the San Jose Raiders getting their 4th loss in a row. The team were now back to .500 for the year at 61-61.

The injury to pitcher Isiah Kelly turned out not to be to serious. He will remain with the team and battle the mild calf strain he has suffered.

After the game there was more bad news for the Raiders and second baseman Tony Patton. Doctors confirmed that his fractured thumb had not healed as expected and he would be sidelined for a further 8 weeks due to the injury.
