A four run fourth inning on a double by Ryleigh Culver, an RBI sacrifice by Gavin Heideman, a two-run single by Ehren Pettapiece and an error keyed the win.

The Dynamites then shutout the Cincinnati Defenders 2-0 to gain a berth in the title contest as Heideman hurled a no hitter with 8 strikeouts.

The Dynamites two runs came in the fourth inning on a steal of home by Romesser and an RBI single by Nick Bucholtz. Singles by Romesser and Culver set up the opportunity.

Culver and Bucholtz both had a pair of hits.
