Both Dakota McFadden and Michael Dellicarri tied with six home runs in the first round, which advanced them both to the final to take on Jake Lebel of the Nashua Silver Knights. In the second round, both McFadden, who had two in the second round, and Dellicarri, who had five in the second round, were beaten out by Lebel who hit six home runs to win.




Five Bravehearts players got the starting nod, including a lead-off trio of Edward Haus, Chris Rinaldi and Michael Dellicarri for the Dodgers.. Brett Coffel and Mack Cheli also were in the all-star starting lineup. 




The Bravehearts started to make an impact in the bottom of the fifth. Haus started off the inning with a walk, which was followed by a Rinaldi single which advanced Haus. Dellicarri then continued the inning with an RBI single that scored Haus. Silver Knights DH Lebel then hit a sacrifice fly to score Rinaldi to increase the Dodger lead to 5-2.




Dellicarri continued his success with an RBI ground-out in his next at-bat for his second RBI of the game. As for Worcester pitching, Kendall Pomeroy, Dakota McFadden, Henry Ennen, Makenzie Stills came in for team Nashua while Tyler Patane came in to pitch for the Dodgers.
