In Extras, Cowboys Beat Rams
In a tight contest at Texas Stadium, the Dallas Cowboys edged the St. Louis Rams by the score of 5-4 in 11 innings. Dallas center fielder Ramon Lobaton, who blasted 1 home run, was a key contributor. Reliever Domingo Ronquillo picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Chris Salasar took the loss. With the loss, St. Louis sinks to 6-4.

The decisive blow was delivered by Constantin Williams in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a solo home run off 25-year old right-handed pitcher Chris Salasar to win the game for Dallas. The home crowd went nuts.

"We played hard and won," said Lobaton. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
