Fire Get Past Austin for 5-4 Win
San Francisco registered a win at San Francisco Grounds by beating the Austin Desperados, 5-4. Pitcher Tom Tchida was one reason why the Fire triumphed. San Francisco reliever Ron Lombardi was the winner. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Jon Cordova. The Fire raised their record to 4-2.

Had Jonathan Kober not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Kober hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Fire.

San Francisco manager Chris Ware praised his team's "businesslike approach."
