Arias retired the first two batters - Maximo Rodriguez flew out to right and Lucio Muniz grounded out to second. With Carlos Arias on the mound, the Lenape were hoping to close out the series. The score remained 2-1 as the game entered the bottom of the ninth. Yet, still, the Lenape had taken a 2-1 lead. He got Steve Keo looking and then induced a first-pitch groundout from Jose Molina. However, with runners at first and second and one out, Talamantez managed to stop the bleeding. Shackamaxon retook the lead in the top of the seventh on a one-out double by George Robinson, a single by pinch hitter Santiago Salazar and a single by pinch hitter Gan Mah, making the score 2-1. However, Steve Jones then grounded out to end the inning with the score tied.
Lucio Muniz then flied out to center, allowing Bijkerk to score. Talamantez laid down a sacrifice bunt, sending the runners to second and third with one out. Seattle managed to tie the score in the bottom of the sixth. Shacakamaxon managed to get a runner on third in the top of the sixth with two out, but Seattle starter Bruno Talamantez struck out veteran John Grondin for the third out. However, with the tying run on third, Olivarez struck out Jonathan Anderson to end the inning and preserve the 1-0 lead. With one out Masahide Ueda doubled to right center and, after another out, advanced to third on Terry Hubbard's single. Seattle had a chance to score in the fifth against Olivarez. However, Muniz's throw beat Keo, for the third out of the inning. Keo, a good baserunner, tagged up from third, testing the strong arm of LF Lucio Muniz. David Seibel flew out to right, allowing Keo to advance to third. However, with one run in the bank and runners on first and second and no one out, Shackamaxon lost the chance to score additional runs. The Lenape drew first blood in the third inning on a lead-off triple by pitcher Bartolo Olivarez, a walk to Steve Keo and an RBI single by Jose Molina. The Seattle Monarchs captured their tenth Cecil Cup with a 3-2, come-from-behind, 10 inning victory over the Shackamaxon Lenape. And now, for the 10th time, I give you the Cecil Cup Champions.
