The California Roadrunners came roaring back in the top of the ninth to spoil
the anticipated celebration of the hometown fans.  The final score,, was 9 to
7.
 
Superior was unable to overcome the big offensive rally by California in the
9th inning as they creamed Superior blasting them with 7 runs on 7 hits.  The
crucial at-bat was provided by Rod Barajas who quieted the crowd when he
clubbed a three-run home run.  California had 15 hits for the game and
Superior had 11.  
 
Chan Ho Park(2-0) allowed no runs in 1 inning, and picked up the victory.
Brandon Lyon preserved the game for Park, recording his his 26th.  Sergio
Romo(2-3) was the loser in relief.  He was unable to retire a batter allowing
3 hits and no walks.
 
Romo was feeling apologetic in the locker room, 'I sure let that one get away.
What a miserable feeling to let the guys down; and our fans.  One minute
things are looking great, then. BOOM, it's over with! I just hope I get a
chance to redeem myself real soon!'
