The lead would hold up until the fourth, when Behrend's Steve Fyffe connected on a two-run homer to make it 4-2. Brian Hart added a two-run double in the fifth to tie it at 4-all.

Behrend took the lead, 5-4, in the sixth on a Gabe Stephenson home run. The Devils bounced back to take a 6-5 lead in the bottom of the sixth on a Kevin Malaney two-run single. The Lions would go on to break the game open with seven runs in the seventh to give the 12-6 final.
