It was a great finish at Dodger Stadium as the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled off
a dramatic comeback beating the Oakland A's by the count of 5 to 4.

Los Angeles came up with the deciding runs in the bottom of the 9th inning
scoring 2 runs on 2 base hits.  After an out was recorded, Justin Ruggiano
was the sparkplug when he laced a base-hit.  Mark McGonigle then called for a
steal which was successful.  Jordan Pacheco then smashed a two-run homer
giving Los Angeles the win as 13,094 happy fans joyfully celebrated.  Oakland
was out-hit by Los Angeles, 11 hits to 6.  

The win was credited to Santiago Casilla(1-2) who went 2/3 of an inning
allowing no runs. Casey Janssen(2-1) was hit with the loss in relief.

'What a game!,' Casilla said afterward.  'When we won it I almost couldn't
believe it!'
