With the bases loaded, Stiffler hit a 2 RBI single, and an overthrow resulted in a 3rd run. The Giants scored another run on a fielder's choice.
Up only 1 run in the 7th, Donaruma led off with a single and was eventually driven in by Barton, with his second RBI of the day.
The Giants threatened in the bottom half. Savas drove in a run with a double, but O'Keefe was able to strand the tying run at second to secure the victory.
For the Giants: Ferro and Savas were each 2-3 with a double.
For the A's: Donaruma, Pavlovich, and Barton each went 2-3 and 31 year-old rookie Rob Muollo collected his first MABL hit. |
