The San Francisco Seagulls (1-2) used a combination of good pitching, timely hitting and good baserunning to beat the Bay Area Giants (5-5) by a score of 5-4. With the victory, the Seagulls earned their first win of the 2007 season.
With the Seagulls trailing 3-0 in the 3rd inning, RF Sam Matulich got things started with a line shot single that deflected off the pitchers glove. With two outs, and Matulich running on the pitch, LF Bobby Carini laced a double into right center field to plate the Seagulls first run.
After giving up 3 early runs on three costly errors, Seagulls starting pitcher Matt Maggiolo (8IP, 3R, 1ER, 3BB, 7K's) was cruising along and waiting for the Seagulls offense to get him back into the game.
In the 6th inning, the Seagulls used a 1 out single from 3B Robert Hitchins and a timely two out-two strike RBI single from CF Dan Fernandez to plate Hitchins .
Maggiolo was on top of his game, and pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the 7th to keep the Seagulls within striking distance.

After the Giants came right back and tied the game at 4-4 in the 8th inning, the Seagulls continued their tradition of winning from behind. 2B Joe McNab was hit by a Giants offering to start the inning. He then stole second base and used two wild pitches from Giants pitcher Sam Stewert to score the go ahead run.
With a 5-4 lead in the 9th inning, Maggiolo (1-0) turned the ball over to Aaron Bjorkquist (1IP, 0R, 1K) who effectively retired the Giants hitters in order and earned his first save of the season.
The Seagulls could only muster 5 hits, but took advantage of 10 walks and 7 wild pitches to score 5 runs and claim the victory.
The Seagulls offense was led by Carini (2-3, 2B, RBI, SB) and Ledda (0-0, 4BB, SB).
