The second game, shortened to six innings by rain, was a 4-3 victory for Easton over West Carleton Electric.

Brad Porter had the win, going three innings in relief of starter Jeff Murphy while Steve Cavanagh went the distance for Fitzroy.

Easton scored a run in the bottom of the first. Dave Tubman led off with a walk and took second and third on wild pitches. Cory Morrison drove Tubman in with a single.

Fitzroy answered back in the fourth to tie the game 1-1. Jeff Cavanagh singled with one out, moved to second base on a wild pitch and scored on his brother Steve's double.

A nice defensive play by Jeff Cavanagh in right field resulted in a double play in the bottom of the fourth, when a line shot was caught by Cavanagh and he caught the runner off the bag with a strong throw to first.

Easton put three on the board in the fifth. Scott Marion led off with a single, and Brad Porter's bunt single put two on with none out. Dave Tubman's homerun made it 4-1 Easton. Kevin Chevrier then singled and Cory Morrison reached on an error, but Steve Cavanagh got out of the jam with a ground ball and two strikeouts.

WC Electric narrowed the gap to 4-3 in the top of the sixth. Neil Murphy reached on a bloop single to lead off the inning. After two strikeouts, Steve Cavanagh helped his cause with a two run homer.

Easton threatened in the bottom of the sixth. With two out, Brad Porter doubled, Dave Tubman reached on an error and Kevin Chevrier walked to load the bases. But a line drive to first ended the inning. At this time the rain was pouring so hard the officials called the game and it ended with a 4-3 Easton victory.
