The opposers added on with three more runs for a 5-1 advantage, however, Genao (3 RBI) and Edwin Tavarez (solo) (Garfield, NJ) recorded back-to-back homeruns to tie the game at five.  

In a battle to stick with the visitor, Anthony Lamar (Freeport, NY) added another Felician homerun to the books take the 8-7 lead after the bottom half of the fourth.
