The Bears got a run back in the fourth to re-tie the game, but the Chargers re-took the lead in the fifth as a sacrifice fly ball to right field from Elijah Tavarez (Valley Stream, N.Y.) allowed a run to score and two batters later junior Anthony Bartolomei (Oakhurst, N.J.) hit a ball to center field which allowed another run to score and give DC the 3-1 edge.
The Chargers added two more runs in the sixth as Joshua Colon (Bronx, N.Y.) hit an in the park two-run home run to center field which allowed Brian Rotella (Stony Point, N.Y.) also to come home and extend the lead to 5-1.
A Bear run in the seventh and ninth innings led to the Chargers, 5-3, victory.

Starter Dino Ferrarese (Latham, N.Y.) got the win (2-1) in six innings of work, allowing one run on one hit and six strikeouts. Kraigen Rasalla (Scranton, Pa.) recorded his first save of the season after pitching the ninth.
Game Two: The Bears scored two runs to start off the game with a 2-0 lead. Dominican cut the deficit to a run in the bottom half of the first on the RBI groundout from Bartolomei.

In the bottom of the fourth, Rotelli hit an RBI groundout to make the score 6-2, but Bloomfield countered in the fifth with two runs to extend the lead to 8-2. The Chargers brought home a run in their half of the fifth on a fielder's choice and added two more in the sixth on a wild pitch and a run-scoring single from Decker.
