DC added two runs in the second inning with the runs scoring on a fielding error to take a 7-0 lead but Felician got on the board in the bottom stanza with two runs to make the score 7-2.  FC added a run in the fourth to cut the lead to 7-3, but Dominican added two runs in the fifth on an RBI triple by LaPorte and a sacrifice fly ball by Childers for the eventual 9-3 win.
