Ken Griffey Jr and his flair for dramatics hit a grand slam home run off Kip Wells to win the game for the Mariners, 6-5.
Wells walked minor leaguer Jeffery Dominguez to load the bases with one out.
Griffey took three balls then swung at two low pitches. Then hit one high in the breeze to rightcenter that landed on the berm.
"It's a tough way to lose," Dusty Baker said. "You're saying don't get one in the air. He's not Ken Griffey Jr. for nothing."
Griffey enjoyed the moment even though it didn't count.
"I saw all my guys at home plate," Griffey said. "That's one of the best feelings in baseball to see all your guys at home plate. That's part of being a team."
Griffey was informed that his alma mater won its state semi final basketball game.
"Moeller's game means more because it counts. That's what I'm talking about," Griffey said. "This is just guys getting their work in."
