With the hometown crowd on the edge of their seats, Seattle Mariners came from
behind to top San Francisco Giants, 7 to 6.

Seattle came up with the deciding runs in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2
runs using 2 hits. Morgan Ensberg led off and started the rally when he drew
a walk. After an out was recorded, Roberts took off for second and slid in
with a stolen base. Alex Rodriguez then drew a walk. Rondell White was a
strikeout victim, unable to help out. Shea Hillenbrand stepped into the box
and singled bringing in a run. Gerald Williams kept the inning going and
stroked a base-hit giving Seattle the victory as 10,123 happy fans celebrated
wildly. Seattle rapped out 11 hits for the afternoon.

The victory went to Cal Eldred(4-4) who went 1 and 1/3 innings, allowing 1
run. Tim Worrell(4-5) ended up with the loss in relief. John Ferraro was all
smiles after the ballgame, 'It sure was looking pretty dim there for a while,
but our guys never gave up - and neither did our fans - they kept cheering us
on. What a sweet win!'
