Frank Glauser, Gene Harris, Ken Radon, Aaron Sacharov, and John Salmon each contributed two hits. The Flames demonstrated some power with a three-run homerun from Tom Cosgrove and doubles from Gene Corrado, Gene Harris, and John Salmon.

As the Wolfpack chipped away at the lead with key clutch hits by Phil Angiolini, Sac Fly from Bob Gaines, hits from Craig Niederpruem, Howard Borochaner, Dick Tosti, Keith Klasic and Jack Galloway set the stage for an incredible comeback by the Wolfpack in the bottom of the seventh inning.

On a beautiful day to play ball the Eagles played the Wolfpack and turned the day into an ugly mess. The Eagles came out playing very strong scoring at least 1run in the first 5 innings building a 14 to 5 lead going into the 6th inning. Then the wolf pack caught fire and the eagles ran out of gas. The eagles stopped scoring in the 6 th and 7th innings and the wolf pack scored 4 in the sixth inning and finished the eagles off by scoring 6 in the seventh to win the game 15 to 14.
