Phil Mankowski came next and he lashed a single. Willie Randolph then laid down a sacrifice bunt. Ivan Dejesus followed and he would hit into a fielders choice which scored a run. Sixto Lezcano came to the plate and delivered a base-hit making Memphis the victor and beginning a joyous home town celebration. The game was a wild affair with the lead changing hands 6 times.
Skip Lockwood(1-0) got the win allowing 2 runs in 1 inning. The loss was charged to Kent Tekulve(0-1) in relief. He pitched 1/3 of an inning and surrendered 2 hits and no walks.
