What a night for the second bagger in Toronto. Oakland was down 2 to 3 going into the ninth inning when closer Jeremy Accardo hit Travis Buck giving him first base. This brought up Mark Ellis who drove the ball to deep right center field for the game tying triple. After a Barton strike out and Cust walked, Ellis scored the go ahead run on Emil Brown's fielder's choice ground ball. Oakland clipped Toronto 6-3. After the game, Ellis said "It felt good to come through in that last inning and get a win."
Mark had a break out game, he went 4 for 5 with 2 stolen bases, a run scored, and an rbi, raising his batting average to .250. His on base percentage is .341 and he's slugging for .556. Mark is fielding at a perfect 1.000 on the year. Oakland is leading the league in double plays (14).

How exciting! What a game--he's pretty consistent on 1 for 4 and so it's cool he had a darn good game! Go Ellis--show 'em how SD boys play ball. :)
