The Brants cut the lead to 8-2 with a run in the 5th inning but Erindale answered back again with three runs in the home half to extend the lead to 11-2. Burlington added a pair of runs in the 6th but Erindale got one back in the bottom half to make the score 12-4. The teams would trade 2-run innings in the eighth leading to the 14-6 final score.
