Oakland got a terrific game from catcher Mike Sligar. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Fountain Hills, 5-4. Sligar went 3 for 4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs. The 23ers raised their record to 23-24.

The game-ending blow was delivered by David McGowan in the bottom of the ninth. That's when he hit a run-scoring double off two-time All-Star Chris Brown to win it for Fountain Hills and cause the home crowd to erupt in celebration.

"Put a star next to this win," McGowan said.
