The Green Terror plated two runs in the seventh on an RBI-double from Cerone and an RBI-single from McKenna to shave the deficit down to four, but Dickinson scored on an error in the eighth and escaped a jam in the top of the ninth to win 12-7 and split the home-and-home.

Davis, Cerone and McKenna each went 3-for-5 from the plate, with Cerone driving in two runs and Davis and McKenna each driving in one. Haddock had two base hits and an RBI while Daly and Dean had a hit and an RBI. Stolba went 2-for-5 and scored a run in the loss.
