DEFEAT 21-10


                 A 12-run sixth inning gave Vallejo an apparently insurmountable lead until the Diamonds immediately mounted a furious comeback to pull within seven. Then a Chris Fornaci grand slam closed the door again and the Admirals won 21-10.

                The culprit in the game for Pittsburg was its usually sure-handed fielding.  Ten of the Vallejo runs were unearned as the Diamonds committed four errors, two by their all-league shortstop Jose Garcia.

                Corey MacDonald (2-5) started for the Diamonds and took the loss. Frank Valentino (2-3) started for Vallejo and got the win.

                The lights went out for 20 minutes in the seventh inning.

                The two teams will play again Friday at 6:35 p.m. at Wilson Park in Vallejo.
