Stars edged in 12th for 8th straight loss
Monday, July 31, 2000 | 8:55 a.m.
TACOMA, Wash. -- Chad Alexander's bases-loaded sacrifice fly to center drove in Anthony Sanders with the winning run in the bottom of the 12th as the Tacoma Rainiers handed the Las Vegas Stars their eighth straight loss, 2-1, on Sunday at Cheney Stadium.
Sanders, who opened the inning with a walk off loser Domingo Guzman (3-4), barely beat the strong throw of outfielder Ryan Radmanovich to win it.
The game was scoreless until the bottom of the seventh when Sanders hit his 10th home run of the year, a long solo drive off reliever Dave Maurer that easily cleared the left-field fence.
The Stars came back to tie it in the ninth against Tacoma relief ace Todd Williams, who leads the Pacific Coast League in saves with 24. Radmanovich started the comeback with a leadoff double, was sacrificed to third by Gabe Alvarez and then scored on a sacrifice fly by John Curl.
