46,746 fans were treated to a fine game at Chase Field as only one run separated the combatants at game's end. The Chicago Fire won by the slimmest of margins, 5 to 4.
Both teams had scored 4 runs after nine full innings. Chicago won the game in the 10th inning. After an out was recorded, Ken Reitz drew a walk. One out later, Freddie Patek came to the plate and ripped a base-hit. Dave Cash then lashed a single scoring the run. The Albuquerque bats were silent in the bottom of the 10th.
The win was credited to Skip Lockwood(1-0) who went 1 inning allowing 3 runs. Lockwood got help from Steve Foucault who was credited with his 1st save. Ray Burris(0-1) was the losing pitcher in relief.
