The B-Mets nearly cracked in the fifth. After Heiker Meneses was hit by Gorski to start the inning, Derrik Gibson pushed a bunt up the third base line. The B-Mets pitcher fielded the roller cleanly, but his throw to first tailed towards the runner. Gibson ran into Allan Dykstra's left arm and the ball rolled down the first base line. When the dust settled, Portland had runners at second and third, Dykstra was pulled from the game and Gorski's day was done. The southpaw took a no-decision and struck out five while allowing two runs over four innings.
