Greely tied things in the top of the third. Steve Tsonos reached on an error, moved to second on a sac bunt by Derek Dumond and scored on a Terry Jones single.

WC Electric put three across in the bottom of the third. Jim Hook singled to lead off and was moved to second on a Jon Daley sac bunt. Hook was however put out on a Neil Murphy grounder.

Down 1-2 in the count, he hit a fly to right field. With the ball tailing foul, right fielder Jeff Cavanagh let the ball drop intentionally to avoid the run scoring on the tag up.
