Greg Ketz in only his third appearance since rejoining the team after injury pitched five solid innings allowing only one run. He was supported with stellar defense by Chris Adamski who assisted on two difficult plays at shortstop ending the third and fifth innings, catcher Bruce Smeby who threw out another would be basestealer at second, Ryan Estes who made a charging play and throw at third to end the fourth and Tom Mortonson who gunned down a runner at the plate trying to score from second on a hit to center. Long Wongs offense started fast scoring three runs in the first, keyed by Mortonson's double. Indians starter Dan Troyer kept his mates in the game however shutting out Long Wongs from the second to fifth, keeping the game close at 3 to 1. In the sixth inning, Long Wongs pinch hitter Paul Sinklair and Adamski reached base with two outs. Kirk Spano followed with a hit to right center to drive in a run which was followed by Tom Mortonson's run scoring single. Joe Brand walked loading the bases for Adam Graves.
