In the 3rd frame, Mellieha’s Steven Grima connected on a 3-run home run giving his team a 5-run lead. In another turn of events, Sliema stormed right back in the game and took a 1-run lead in the bottom of the 4th inning.

As the game turned into the later stages, Masashi Suzuki came up clutch for the Northenders with a late 3-run homerun. This sealed the game in favour of Mellieha, ending with a score of 15-12. Another defensive clinic by Michael Bartolo at shortstop wins him the MVP of the game.
