The extra player and great defense made for a low scoring game , there were even a couple of 3 pitch innings.
After two innings the score was only 0-1-1 .
By the 3rd inning , the bats started to come alive , as the fielding team plated two runs , ignited by Rivera 's 2nd of his 4 hits. The sitting team answered with 2 of their own , on consecutive hits by Duff , Finnegan and yes Marino . End of three 0-3-3.
The hitting team finally woke-up , scoring 2 runs in the inning on hits by S . Hill and Diaz . After four 2-3-3.
The hitting team actually took the lead in the 5th inning ,adding three , on hits provided by Wells, Moots and Mundy. However the fielding team scored 5 runs without recording an out in the bottom half. Their key hit was a bases loaded single by D. Hill.
After five we stood at 5-3-8 .

At that point all the teams really turned up the defense as there was no scoring in the final two frames. The game ended on a fine double play (would have been a triple play but there was already one out) started by Miller to Diaz to Moots.
The final score was 5-3-8 .
Stars: Rivera 4 for 4
Duff 3 for 3
Simon 2 for 2 , walk
Zelazny , Jacobs , Moots , King , Witmer
