The Black Sox picked the wrong game to do not much right as the Mariners brought their hitting sticks and took advantage of many Black Sox miscues to sink the Sox.  Brett Mandel had three hits and Mike Plank, Antonio Aspite, and Tommy Jackson added two hits each in the losing effort.  The Mariners win the GPMABL Championship in a three-game sweep of the Black Sox.

Dennis Geiger pitched a great game, but the Sox offense just could not string hits together.  Three hits from Evan Horn and two hits from Chris Crescenzo and Tommy Jackson couldn't plate enough runners to earn a win.
