91原创 was leading 1-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning when Ethan Gray belted a bases-clearing triple, scoring Cole Cantelon, Michael Stovman and Rhys Cratty.

Game two saw 91原创 strike quickly and often, with three runs in both the first and second innings and then another four in the third in what became a 10-0 rout.

Gus Wilson, Stovman, Daniel Martin, Dawson Gray and Jayden Knight had an RBI apiece.
