In the fourth, Pitrowski scored Delvalle on a rbi single to increase the Finest lead to 4 - 0. The Bambinos scored on a sacrifice fly by Klimnick to make it a 4 -1 game. The Finest then score 3 runs in the 6th with the big blow coming on a pinch hit 2 out single by Christian that scored Delvalle and Pitrowski increasing the Finest lead to 7 - 1. Moutene hits a solo homer to make it 7 - 2 and Delvalle gets a ground ball to end the game and win the Championship for the Finest.
