Josh Wilson (FLA) hit a solo shot in the bottom of the first inning to give the Desert Dogs an early 1-0 lead. In the third, Jeremy Hermida (FLA) added to the lead with a deep homer to right scoring Wilson, who had walked earlier.
The Solar Sox finally got on the board in the fourth when Brian Anderson (CWS) drew a walk with two outs. Casey Rogowski (CWS) followed with a walk and Jeff Baker (COL) hit a single to short to load the bases. Anderson scored on a passed ball by catcher John Baker (OAK) and the Sox trailed the Dogs 3-1.
In the sixth inning, Chris Duncan (STL) singled to center and Jayson Nix (COL) hit a liner passed the shortstop to put runners on first and second. Joey Gathright (TB) reached on a fielders choice and an erratic throw past the first baseman allowed Duncan to score, bringing the Sox within a run.
Mike Napoli (ANA) responded for the Dogs with a blast over the left field wall in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Dogs a 4-2 lead.
Duncan led off the eighth with a single to right field, Nix followed with a single advancing Duncan to third. With runners on first and third, Gathright hit into a double play, scoring Duncan. The Sox pulled within a run again.
The game was tied up in the ninth when Gabe Johnson (STL) drove a ball passed the shortstop for a base hit. Johnson stole second and scored when Casey Rogowski (CHC) reached first on an error.
Anaheim’s Tommy Murphy led off the bottom of the tenth with a triple to right-center field, eventually scoring on a passed ball to secure the win for the Desert Dogs.
