The second sees Stiff Sox score one, when Tyler Fornwalt hits a double but then scores on a throwing error. Jose Sanchez singles but then Pitch Please turns a big double play to get out of the inning before more damage is done. Ray Brittingham does what he can to keep Pitch Please in it with a solo shot, but we end the second with Stiff Sox still up one, 4-3.
Stiff Sox gets two singles in a row from Jim Kullmann and Anthony Crespo to start the 3rd but can't capitalize on what could have been a big inning and go 1-2-3 with their 2-3-4 hitters. Pitch Please has a chance to take the lead and gets a one out single from Adam Schulang and then a two out single from Mark Schaffer, but with two runners on they can't capitalize and the third is scoreless, with Stiff Sox still holding a 4-3 lead.
The fourth is quiet again for Stiff Sox, with singles from Tim Hilferty and Antonio Almedia. Pitch Please can't take advantage again and go 1-2-3. Stiff Sox continues to hold at 4-3.
The fifth sees Stiff Sox start off with a single from Tyler Fornwalt Jose Sanchez gets a single and Tyler Fornwalt gets to third. Alex DeChristifano hits a deep fly ball that looks to score Tyler Fornwalt, but left field throws a rope right on the dot and Fornwalt is thrown out at the plate as he slides head first, or at least I like to think that’s how it went. Jim Kullmann gets a single and scores Jose Sanchez and Anthony Crespo singles as well before Chris Sanchez grounds into a fielder's choice. Pitch Please doesn’t seem to want to let the game get too far away, and Joe Kindt leads off with a solo home run. Dan Altamus singles and Mark Schaffer follows with a single, but Bill Larkin shoots a hard ground ball to the first baseman, that scores at least one if it gets through, but solid defense from Stiff Sox saves the lead and we end the 5th with a Stiff Sox lead, 5-4.
Stiff Sox leads the top of the sixth off with a double from Nick Purshock and Tim Hilferty knocks him in with an RBI single. Pitch Please can’t muster a run, going 1-2-3, and Stiff Sox cushions the lead, 6-4.
The seventh starts with a Matthew Brady single, followed by a Jimmy Templeton single. Tyler Fornwalt scores Brady on a single and it looks like Stiff Sox is going to break it open. Jose Sanchez hits a rocket to short and stellar defense allows for a huge double play and Pitch Please avoids a bad inning to give themselves a chance. Mike Sheridan starts off with a single to try to save Pitch Please’s season. Joe Kindt flies out to deep left center and Steve Walsh strikes out on a dirty pitch. Adam Schulang comes up with a runner on and two outs, but a flyout to short ends the game, the season, and the year for Sunday Morning Men’s East.

Stiff Sox wins 7-4, and the Championship in a 2-0 sweep.
