That's right! The Grizzlies are headed to the 'Ship for the first time in franchise history! Brett Oberholtzer's terrific start and some early scoring from the Grizzlies gave the team enough breathing room to weather a little bullpen storm later in the game.

And so it ends. The Hooks just couldn't string together enough hits to scratch together more runs. The Rockhounds scored all of their runs via the long ball as Francis Martes served up three homers in his four innings. Michael Freeman and Edison Frias were sparkling in relief. C Alfredo Gonzalez went 3-for-4 and scored the Hooks only run.
