Smurfs 12, Blue Sox 9
Jacob Pope blasted a pair of two-runs home runs off of Week 2 Pitcher of the Week Jed Laprade to lead the Smurfs to the 12-9 victory. The normally deep Blue Sox squad was hurt by starting the game off with only 4 fielders, though they did get a shot in the arm with the addition of reinforcements Sean and Hunter Van Horne at the end of the first inning. The Blue Sox rallied to score 4 in the bottom of the sixth by stringing together 4 hits and 2 walks, but it was not enough to prevent Sam Heikell from recording his second victory.

A patient approach at the plate led to 10 first inning walks, for an 11-3 Smurf lead after one. The Blue Sox did not quit, as Brian Pendergast threw a scoreless second frame. Sparked by a Hunter Van Horne double, the Blue Sox recorded 9 consecutive successful plate appearances (2 BB, 6 H, 1 SF) to take a 12-11 lead in the top of the 3rd. The Smurfs responded in the bottom of the inning with 5 runs of their own, with RBI singles from Jacob Pope and Cale Spence. The game was called after 4 innings due to time constraints, the second consecutive Smurf series to end this way.
