It was a soggy ball game in Centralia when the Cubs met the Dorchester Purple team. With three breaks due to rain delay, the sun finally came out in the fifth inning to allow the teams to finish the game.

It was a tough task for Crediton pitcher Chantelle Lewis due to the slippery grip. In the fourth inning in a downpour, the play of the game allowed them to get off the field scoreless. With bases loaded, second baseman Amber Preszcator caught a line drive, touched second and finished the triple play after tossing to her sister Megan at first base. The Preszcator sisters had previously performed a spectacular double play.

The bats were quiet throughout the game but the Cubs were still able to stay on the winning side. Missy Pertschy, Kathy Glen and Lewis hit two singles apiece. Amber Preszcator hit a triple in the third inning while single hits came from the bats of Prout, Gould, Megan Preszcator and Mary Glen.
Lewis was the starting pitcher with relief from Kathy Glen.

Gould pounded out two doubles and two long triples came from Kathy Glen and Scott. Prout hit a double and single while LaPorte hit two singles.
