A rather scary moment happened in the third inning, when Colorado Rockies #1 prospect Zac Veen stepped into the batter box. Veen hit the ball straight towards Macko. Thankfully, thanks to quick reflexes, Slovak pitcher caught the ball in his glove.
It was also the last out of the game for Macko. After a walk to Ezequiel Tovar, Modesto coaches substituted Slovak. At the time he threw 49 pitches. In the end, Modesto lost 3-6, giving Macko the loss.
