Fire Sneak By Invaders, 9-8
The San Francisco Fire needed 10 innings to beat the Oakland Invaders, 9-8, at Howard Terminal. The win was due in part to right fielder Willie Villegas, who was 3-4 with 2 home runs and 2 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Chris Benson snagged the win in relief. He goes to 5-7 on the season. Chris Graham suffered the loss. The Invaders, now 72-78, have lost 4 straight.

The game was all tied up in the top of the tenth, until Villegas delivered big-time for San Francisco, stroking a dramatic solo home run off Chris Graham. The game-changing hit put the Fire on top, 9-8.

"This kind of game is tough on the heart," said winning manager Zach Freeman.
