The Modesto Athletics rallied for three runs in the fifth inning of this May 1991 game and Glenn Osinski helped start the rally, according to The San Bernardino County Sun.

Osinski knocked a single with one out and eventually scored. His Modesto team went on to beat rival High Desert by a 7-5 score, The Sun wrote.
