In a rain-shortened game, the Rangers held on to a one run lead as a downpour ended the day at Chelsea High. The Reds struck first with singles from Dan Pope and Steve Altmann. Pope stole second after his hit and advanced to third on Altmann's, who then stole second. The first run came home on a balk by Neil Doherty, and the second on a throwing error on a play at the plate. The Rangers came back with their runs right away. Chad Besegai led off the inning with a walk and Paul Bracco singled him to second. Steve Pinner reached safely on a sacrifice bunt that Chris Dumas had trouble handling with the infield grass wet from the rain. Then, with one out, Jeff Rausch singled home the first two men and Pinner advanced to second. Chris Dutton then came in to pinch-run for the old guy and scored from second on a ground ball that was booted into shallow right field by second baseman Stephen Leahy to give the Rangers the lead for good
