In the top of the 3rd, Dominican answered following a Robinson walk and two infield outs, Willie Mann (Paterson, NY)  hit an infield single to send Robinson home giving the Chargers a 1-0 lead.  In the top of the 4th pitcher Kevin McCormack (Islip, NY) walked the leadoff batter Robert Iglesias (Mays Landing, NJ) and surrendered an RBI double to Drew Dombkowski (Southampton, MA) to put Dominican up 2-0.  Jason Berrios (Brooklyn, NY) came up with 1 out and cracked an RBI single up the middle rounding out Dominican's scoring giving them a 3-0 lead.

Relief pitchers Dan Kalbfliesh (Johnsonville, NY), Joe Trainor (Massapequa, NY), and Justin Brooks (West Sand Lake, NY) held the Chargers scoreless to give the Golden Lions a chance in the bottom of the 9th.  Catcher, Dave Wendt (Methuen, MA) led off the 9th with the a walk and with two outs moved to second on a fielder's choice and a wide throw by the Dominican shortstop hit by Dan Pembroke (Wading River, NY) putting runners on 1st and 2nd.
