In the bottom of the seventh, the Electric managed five runs to squeak out the win. Following a strikeout to lead off the inning, Murphy walked. He scored on a Boucaud homerun, which was followed by a Barton solo shot, cutting the lead to 9-8. Costello then doubled, and Trafford reached base when he was hit by a pitch. Kars elected to then bring Porter back from first base to go in to pitch. A wild pitch to batter Jeff Campbell had Costello moving to third, and the attempted throw was errant, and scoring Costello to tie the game at 9. Campbell then walked, and Ellis came in to pitch. A Jeff Cavanagh single to shallow left loaded the bases for Owen Brown, who drew a "walk off walk" to end the game 10-9 in favour of the home team.
