After a force out at home, the inning ended when Shauli Grinspan caught a fly ball in left center and threw out Scot Wolf at home for a double play.In the 6th, Kirzner took a 1 run lead in the top of the inning, but defense again prevented a major rally in the bottom of the 6th when Teddy “Ballgame” Kantor caught a leaping fly ball in right field to end the inning stranding two runners. Weisser’s team tied the game in the bottom of the 7th, but Kirzner scored 2 runs in the top of the 8th and held on for a 5-3 win.
