"Feeling tired and possibly a bit overconfident, the Trappers found themselves going for win No. 23 against — guess who? — the Giants. (At Pocatello)

Gilligan recalls, "I will never forget that game. It sounds like a fairy-tale story to think about it, but we were in the top of the seventh inning (trailing 9-3) and the dark clouds started to come in from the distance. Everyone was sure it was going to rain, and the game would be called. The Giants had a six-run lead when the P.A. guy said 'The streak is over!' I was standing on the third-base side and looked at the third baseman, and he just shook his head and said, 'Why did he say that?' "

Moments later, Giants manager Rafael Landestoy started yelling in the direction of the press box at the announcer.

"We went on to score eight runs, hit three home runs, the sky cleared that inning and a giant rainbow was seen in the outfield," Gilligan said. "It was a moment I will never forget."
