• Perez homered in the bottom of the second to make the score 4-0.
• Davis led off the top of the third with a single and was succeeded by a Tedford walk.  After Chandler reached on a fielder's choice, he was picked off, leaving just Davis at third with two outs.  Ahead in the count 2-1, Cosby laced a single up the middle to crack the score column for AUM.
