ASA made it apparent that they belonged as they jumped out to a 3-1 first inning lead.

As they have done all season, ASA would claw their way back to an 8-7 deficit that would grow to 10-7 after a two-run Potomac homer. Even after all of this, the Avengers would not lay down, closing the gap again in the bottom of the 8th inning 12-11. ASA ended the game with 13 hits including homeruns by Region XV Conference Player of the Year, Juan Arroyo (Bronx, NY/Monroe) and Carlos Ruiz (Brooklyn, NY/Transit Tech). Every player in the line-up recorded a hit on the afternoon including Carlos Ruiz who went 2-3 with a homer, Joseph Gerena (Bronx, NY/Monroe) who was 2-4, Omar Artsen (Brooklyn, NY/Beach Channel) who finished 2-5, and Samir Imbert (San Francisco de Macoris, DR/San Martin) who was 2-4.
