Fairbanks downs the Oilers 2-1 in 10 innings, the Oilers first loss of the season.
The game was tied 1-1 after nine innings; both teams scoring single runs in the third inning. The Oilers managed five hits and left five on base. The Panners left 15 runners on base for the game; scoring the game winner in the 10th inning with three hits.
