A safe squeeze bunt by Chris Speier with the bases loaded and a wild throw by Dave Roberts on the play enabled the Giants to score three runs in the 11th inning to defeat the Padres, 7-4. Dave Rader opened the decisive stanza with a single and yielded the paths to Fran Healy. Al Gallagher singled and was replaced by pinch-runner Damaso Blanco.

After a sacrifice fly by Tito Fuentes, Bernie Williams popped up. The Padres then decided to pass Bobby Bonds intentionally and that strategy blew up in their faces when Speier laid down his bunt. [The Sporting News]
