The River Cats scored two runs in the top of the ninth inning to turn a one run deficit into a one run win as they came one win closer to winning the Pacific Coast League championship.  Jorge Piedra belted a solo homerun to tie the game up and then Brian Stavisky doubled home the game winner as Sacramento squeeked out the win.

Michael Madsen had a decent start and he gave up just two runs in 6 1/3 innings.  Jerry Blevins picked up a win with 1 2/3 innings of shutout relief.  He gave up just one walks and he struck out four.
