Tim Cook

    With one out, center fielder L.J. Sneath hit a ball to third, but the throw to first got away and Sneath motored into second base.

First baseman Manny Parra then walked and designated hitter Dan Gemma got a hit to left that loaded the bases. With two outs, shortstop Derek Chase walked to force in Matlack to make it a 2-2 game and then with second baseman Larry Lomascola at the plate, a wild pitch that was high and hit off the catcher's glove allowed Parra to come home to give the Oaks a 3-2 lead.

Matlack was the next batter and got a hit to right, sending sneath to third. The throw to third got away and Sneath scored to make it 5-2, with Matlack making it safely to third on the play.
