In an great finish the Morgen Grinders (MOR) won in dramatic fashion over the Dou's Crew (DOU) by a score of 7 to 6 at Safeco Field. Morgen Grinders won the game with a rally in the 9th inning scoring 3 runs utilizing 3 base hits. Darin Erstad led off and keyed the rally when he lined a single. Mark McGwire stepped up next and he bombed a two-run dinger (his 1st of the season). After an out was recorded, Jim Edmonds stepped in and he drew a walk. After another out, Lance Berkman came to the plate and drew a walk. Fernando Tatis stepped into the box and drew a walk to load the bases.
