In the Dragons 3rd, Bartlewski singled and Cafario homered for the 2nd straight game to go up 6-1.

The Cigars would get 1 in their 3rd to make it 6-2 and it would stay that way until the the Dragons pushed across 3 runs in the 8th on singles from Davenport and Caleb Autry followed by 3 HBP's in a row with Tournear reaching first and then back to back RBI on HBP from Mendoza and Malcolm.
