But after a sacrifice bunt by Nelson Castro to move the runners into scoring position Buddy Morales struck out and Jorge Tang grounded out to end the inning scoreless.

In the bottom of the third Nate Price picked up a single and ended up at third base after a steal and a throwing error by catcher Morales. Eric McNamee followed with a walk and Dave Detienne plated the game's first run with a base hit to centerfield. Jay Pecci also walked to load the bases and Steve Haake delivered a clutch two-out, two-run base knock for the 3-0 lead.

With Kuramochi at second Darryl Brinkley popped up to move him to third and Drew Miller walked to put runners at the corners with two outs. Carlos Duncan though struck out to end the frame at the 3-1 score.
