Oakland pitcher Jon McDonald earned the win, hiking his record to 3-1. Greg Sandlin suffered the loss. With the win, Oakland pushed its record to 49-39.

In the top of the sixth, the Invaders grabbed the lead when Sligar hit his 4th home run of the season. The 2-run home run off Greg Sandlin made it 4-3, Oakland.

"Mike is still learning," said Invaders manager Steve Pate. "The sky's the limit for him."
