Homers from Ryan Maley, MacFarlane, Nick Cocco, and Ryan Calabro, along with a Kurt Krout triple and doubles from Ryan Whiteley, and Delucas get the job done. For Just Food, a leadoff double in the first from John Bondo looks promising, but then they go down in order. Matty McReynolds smacks another leadoff double in the second to try to get things going, but Beers pitching strikes out the side. Just Food goes down in order in the 3rd, and then finally gets on the board in the 4th by scoring Joe Talerico after he singled with a bunch of singles and a RBI single from Dave Shannon. In the last inning, Just Food gets one on but can't get him home. Beers wins, 17-1.
