Post 8 trimmed the Dukes lead to 8-6 with one in the 4th.

Neither team scored again until the 7th, when the Dukes posted another 5 runs, taking a 13-6 lead.  Post 8 roared right by with 4 runs, the key hit provided on a bases loaded single by Gisele Seguin, on her way to a 4-4 day. Score 13-10 Dukes after 7.

The 8th saw the Dukes extend their lead to 16-10 when the bottom of their order came through on hits by Ken Gelinas, Rudy Lapointe and John Merritt’s 2nd hit of the day. Post 8 added one in the bottom of the inning 16 -11 going to the 9th

The 9th saw the Dukes come out firing after one out with 6 straight singles and loading the bases after scoring 3. Post 8 ended the Dukes scoring at 19, on a fine double play started by mid fielder Gisele Seguin, her 3rd of the day. Post 8 was not going away as George Knox, Duff Hill, Sam Lopez, Bob Regan and Elmer Black had singles around a big triple in the gap by Russ King, scoring 5 runs. With two outs and runners on 1st and 2nd, the tying run was at the plate. The comeback was ended on a nice play by 2nd baseman Jerry Remington. Final score 19-16 Dukes.
