ARLINGTON, T.X. -- Despite a valiant effort that saw the Athletics score 6 runs in the final three innings, the boys from Oaktown lost a heart-breaker, 8-7. David Justice, the potential tying run was pegged out a home with 2 outs in the 9th. Texas catcher Ivan Rodriguez blocked the plate and held onto the ball, ensuring victory.
The A's were down 6-1 by the third inning and rallied to come all the way back by the eighth. But Chad Bradford (0-1, 7.71) was roughed up again. He allowed a big 2-run shot to Lamb in the eighth. Oakland starter Eric Hiljus was shellacked in his 4 inning pitched. Ramon Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a home run.
"Toughest loss yet," said Maty McNeil. "But we had fight until the end."
