In the seventh, Matanich drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly to center field that scored Gavin Scurr who had hit a one-out triple to right field. Joe Jersak followed three batters later and drew a bases load walk that gave the Norse a 5-3 lead after seven complete. Mark Prince drove in the final Norse run in the eight with a single.
