There wasn’t a lot of scoring in this one. I4C scored their lone run of the game on a long homerun to centre off the bat of Kevin McGuire in the bottom of the 3^rd inning to make the score 1-0. As was the case in their first game, Kars responded in their next at bat. In the top of the 4^th inning, Kars struck out 5 times and had only 1 hit, a line drive rbi double of the bat of Matt Alkerton, but Kars was able to score 3 runs. A few passed balls and an I4C error contributed to the outburst by Kars. There was no scoring in the last 3½ innings of the game.

Of note, Putnam had 19 strikeouts and allowed only 1 hit for I4C.
