Just when it looks like Smokey Joe Williams is cruising, after four scoreless innings and two strikeouts to start the fifth, the Stars get a two out rally going for 3 runs to tie the game. In the sixth, Williams continues to struggle, giving up two runs on four hits.
However, the Giants bullpen consists essentially of Mathis and Mendez, so they really need to get another couple of innings out of Williams. They are relieved to see him do better as the game goes on, but bring in Mathis for the ninth. Mathis makes it exciting by giving up a hit and allowing another batter to reach on a fielding error, but gets out of the inning unscathed and goes on to bunt Petway to second with two strikes. Turkey Stearnes obliges and drives Petway home on a game tying double to center.
McNair then advances Stearnes to third with a groundout to first, and Serrell hits the walk-off single to take the game - despite Williams struggles, it's Bullet Joe Rogan who ends up with the short straw after a solid eight innings...
