Matt Rossingnol turned in a complete game victory for the Chill by giving up one run on six hits while striking out seven, and rightfielder Derek Pyles threw out the potential tying run at home to end the game as the Chill held on for a 2-1 victory over the Snowbirds at Palm Springs Stadium.

In the top of the ninth, Todd Alls and Chris Hartery singled to put runners at the corners with one out. Marquise Hall then proceeded to fly out to right and pinch-runner Marcus Dennistoun tagged up from third and tried to come home. Pyles threw a strike to home plate to gun down Dennistoun to complete the game-ending double-play.
