The Raiders scored one run to cut the Cowboys lead down to 3-1, then in the bottom of the second inning, the Raiders scored once more to bring the score to 3-2. But then the Cowboys came roaring back to extend their lead.
They scored three runs in the top of the third inning, then one run in the fourth inning, two in the fifth and then six runs in the sixth inning. This brought the game to its final score of 15-2 to give the Raiders their 15th loss of the season.
