Sardine City and New Jersey battled for a marathon-like 16 innings before the Straphangers took the lead. Both teams scored early - the Buddahs scored 2 in the 1st and the Sardines tied it up in the 3rd, then nothing. Josh Outman gave the Buddahs 7 innings, giving up only 7 hits and striking out 6, while his Straphangers counterpart, Jordan Zimmerman lasted 8 innings and holding New Jersey to only 3 hits. The bullpens held each other in check until the 16th, when Scott Eyre gave up a leadoff double to Marco Scutaro, then Ryan Braun homered to win the game.
Another shorter extra inning game was played between Vegas and Amityville. The Rats picked up a 3-0 lead but the Ants got on the board in the 5th, then tied the score up in the 6th on a Miguel Tejada double. But the Rats would have the last laugh in the 11th when pinch-hitter Travis Hafner hit a solo homer to win the game for the Pack. The Ant Slayers held the Rats to only 5 hits in the game (versus 11 for the Slayers), but two of the hits were home runs.
Clayton Kershaw finally had a decent outing against Newark, lowering his ERA to 10.13 with a 5.1 inning, 6 hit performance. Kershaw gave up one run and struck out 8, but didn't get a decision. That's because the Cutters scored all 7 runs in the final 3 innings to take a 7-1 win against Newark.
