A fielders choice scored one run putting the score at 6-5 with runners on first and second with one out. Erik Olson drew a walk to load the bases and a flyout brought Jeff Rhoads to the plate. Rhoads hit a shallow fly ball to right which was dropped and allowed three runs to score. Derek Nelson made that error hurt even worse when he then blasted a two run home run to left center field putting the score at 10-7. Nelson came in to close down the game picking up the save.
