In game 1 Jon Garland was probably left in a bit too long as he falters in the 6th allowing Rivendell to come from behind for the win. Corey Patterson led the Stampede offense with 3 hits in game 2 as San Bernardino got back on the winning track. Game 3 saw the San Bernardino offense explode, led by Coco Crisp and Gary Matthews who each collected 3 hits.
