Brian Powers singled in Chris Bucci from 3rd in the bottom of the 6th for the only run of the game in this classic pitching duel between rookie Scott Jamieson and Eamon McDonough. In a game that lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes, Jamieson scattered 4 hits in outdueling McDonough, as the A's take a 1-0 lead in the semifinal series. Peter Moores threw out the potential go-ahead run in the top of the 6th on a base hit to left in a game that featured many defensive gems. In the bottom of the 6th, Bucci led off with a single, moved to 2nd on a Greg Lovely base hit, to third on an Andy Doyle fielder's choice, and scored on Powers' 2-out base hit.
