Robb Nenn came in to save the game for the Giants
Bengie Molina struck out
Adam Kennedy singled
Scott Spiezio pinch hit for Edgard Clemente and walked, Kennedy to second
Darin Erstad singled, Kennedy scored, Spiezio to third (5-5)
Kevin Stocker bunted and the Giants got Spiezio at home on the failed squeeze play, Erstad to second

About a coupe of the unknown players in that rally...

Edgard Clemente is the nephew of Roberto Clemente. He played for three seasons with the Rockies and Angels and hit .249 for his career. 2000 was his final season.

Kevin Stocker played 8 years in the majors. He had a career average of .254 and spent his final year with the Angels in 2000.
