The Blue team scored a pair of runs in the third to gain the lead, 2-0. With two men on, Nick Howard blooped a double into right field, scoring Mike Papi and Matt Thaiss. The Orange team responded with one run in the top of the fourth when George Ragsdale laced a double that scored Robbie Coman.
In the bottom of the fourth, the Blue again scored a pair of runs. They loaded the bases and scored on back-to-back RBI groundouts by LaPrise and Thaiss, plating Scott Williams and Thomas Woodruff, respectively.
Errors were key in the big fifth inning for the Orange, and all four runs scored were unearned. It all started when Brandon Cogswell hit a popup to short. There was a miscommunication between Blue team shortstop Daniel Pinero and third baseman Thomas Woodruff, and the ball dropped in the infield. From there, Coman hit into a fielder's choice that scored Cogswell. Rob Bennie smashed a double that scored two, and then later scored on a throwing error by Woodruff.
In the bottom of the sixth, the Blue team got four hits, which led to three runs in that inning. John La Prise hit a single that drove in Woodruff. The next batter, Brandon Downes, hit a sacrifice fly that scored Mike Papi. Finally, Howard slapped a single to score La Prise.
The seventh got dicey for the Blue team. Leading 7-5, Tekker gave up an RBI single to Cogswell that scored Nate Irving. However, with the bases loaded and two outs, Tekker forced Derek Fisher to pop out to short to end the game.
