Tap Daddys score 4 in the 1st. Baby Ruths get a double from Nick Jokiel but strand him in the bottom. In the 2nd Baby Ruths score 3 on a Jon Leva 3-run homer. No one scores again until the 4th, where Tap Daddys get 1 on a sac fly from Dean Kennif. They'll add 3 more in the 5th on Nick Perricone's 3 run shot over the fence. 2 more cross for Tap Daddys in the 6th with Eric Mohan doubling. Baby Ruths score 3 in the bottom of the 6th on another 3-run blast from John Leva. Tap Daddys add 2 insurance runs in the top of the 7th with Eric Mohan's 2 run dinger. Needing 6 to tie and 7 to win, Baby Ruths threaten by getting the 1st 4 batters on base, including Josh Britland leading off the inning with a double, and scoring them all. They run out of gas after that, though, and Tap Daddys hangs on for the win, 12-10.
