Another single would load the bases again, and an infield hit would give Courtright a 3-0 lead after a close play at the plate was ruled safe.

Another hit would be bobbled by the Petrolia short stop, resulting in another run. A sack fly would cash in another run , and a single to outfield would cash in one more, as the Cardinals would score 6 in the inning to open the game.

In the bottom of the 4th, the Cardinals would continue to add to their total, as Mark Colbran would hut a two run homerun, his first of the season to make it 8-0.

Courtright would add two more runs off singles, followed by an error for another score to push their lead to 12-0 after 4 innings.

With the game in hand, the Cardinals looked to close out the game, scoring one more run in the bottom of the 6th to win the game 13-0.
