However, in the bottom of the third, Freshman Richard Barkley hit a three-run homer to give CGA the 3-2 lead.  

The Bears added one more in the fourth, then went on a five-run rally in the bottom of the fifth to lead the Blazers 9-2.  

Elms and CGA both added two runs apiece in the sixth to make it an 11-4 score. Elms added two more in the seventh and held the Bears to no score in the bottom of the inning.
