After his heroic efforts in the Scotch Plains game, Matt Benedetti was asked to take on the almost insurmountable task of taming the powerful Cranford team. Unfortunately, he didn't have his stuff today and walked the first four batters. Tyler Hartlaub relieved Benedetti after the fourth walk. Hartluab had more luck in finding the plate, but was hammered for 8 hits and 10 runs. At that point the score was already 13-0 and there were still only two outs. At this juncture Brian Dunnder took over the pitching. He immediately got the third out and the inning mercifully came to an end. Cranford tagged Dunnder for another 4 runs in the second inning, but it was clear that Dunnder was beginning to find his way. Over the final 2 1/3 innings he gave up only one hit and no runs. Summit avoided a shutout in the 4th when Benedetti singled and was driven in by a Monaco single. A ground ball hit by Dunnder was booted by the shortstop allowing Monaco to score. A third run was scored in the 5th when Bill Wheeler and Ben Wheeless singled and a grounder by Francisco Rojas drove in Wheeler.

The game was halted after the Summit 5th because of the 10 run rule.
