16 Innings Win For San Jose

It took 16 innings and 301 minutes, but the San Jose Giants scored 4 runs in the 16th to beat the Stockton Ports (A's) 7-4.

Tim Hutting led off the 16th with his 3rd hit of the game, a clean single to left off Stephen Obenchain (1-1), Stockton's sixth pitcher of the night. After Steve Holm sacrificed Hutting to second, Alex Requena delivered a flare to left field that dropped in front of a sliding Luis Perez, scoring Hutting with the go-ahead run, with Requena taking second on the throw home. Requena moved to third on a wild pitch. After John Bowker walked, Mark Minicozzi delivered an insurance RBI with a bloop single to center to score Requena. Carlos Sosa followed with a rocket to right to score Bowker. Right-fielder Myron Leslie bobbled the ball, allowing Minicozzi to advance to third -- from where he scored the 4th run of the inning on a sacrifice fly by Julio Cordido.
