Athletics 1 Rangers 0
In a classic pitchers' duel at Chaney Field, Chris Anderson's bunt squeezed home Ryan Summerlin with the winning run in the last of the fifth, sending the A's to the championship next Saturday. Nate Tarkoff, Ethan Fox and Tyler Schenone struck out 13 and walked one, while only surrendering four hits. Speedy Keaziah Smith walked twice and stole a base for the A's, while Yoshi Koyake and Tarkoff each were in the hit column. Ranger hurlers Brian Merken, Trenten Tso, Ryan Nall and Jared Kolsut were equal to the task, allowing only four hits themselves before Anderson's late-game heroics.

Power hitting Cam Price's perfect night at the plate and sidewinding reliever Ryan Sumerlin's perfect night on the hill helped the A's storm to the third round of the playoffs.

Tyler Schenone, Nate Tarkoff and Ethan Fox added timely hits for the A's, and Evan Bosshart speared a line drive at second to cut short an Angels rally.
