(this being the most runs scored in a game the entire series)Sweaburg's lead off batter in the 7th, Darryl Wharram, drove the first pitch up the middle to lead the inning of with a single. Sweaburgs second batter Mark McCallum followed suit and drove one up the gut for a single as well. This put runners on first and second, and Jeff Figg quickly deposited the first pitch over the center field fence. Thus collecting Sweaburgs only 3 RBI's with one swing.

Another great game by both teams.
