The Bern Cardinals become the first team from Switzerland’s Ligue Nationale A to play in a European Cup – and nearly the first to win.

John Mayberry hits a pair of homers in extra innings. The first, hit off Steve Cishek in the 10th, ties the game at 3-all after Juan Pierre had scored on a wild pitch for the Marlins in the top of the inning. Mayberry’s second homer is a walk-off grand slam off Edgar Olmos in the 11th to give the Phillies a 7 – 3 win. He is the first player to hit a pair of homers in extra innings since Mike Young did it for the Baltimore Orioles in 1987.
