Ken Cool singled in 2 runs in the top of the sixth to put the Ducks ahead 4-3 after six.
TJ Morgan led off the top of the seventh with a double and we left him stranded.

Game Two got ugly in the fourth. We led 1-0 and then they started hitting home runs. It got to 10-2 at one point, then they added two more in the top of the seventh. South Oakland scored three in the bottom of the seventh.
