In the last game of the afternoon, Team Barilar faced Team Smacker with Adam Miloser and Heath Ellenberger on the mound. After lighting up the scoreboard against Team Walker earlier opening day, Team Smacker couldn't do the same against Team Barilar and never really contended in the last game.
Team Smacker failed to get a hit in the first two innings as Miloser had a no-hitter through two innings. In the top of the third, with the score 3-0 Team Barilar due to homeruns by Kyle Barilar and Travis Harp in the top of the first, Team Barilar extended their lead to five runs with RBI singles by Kory Blose and Travis Harp. Team Smacker finally got on the board and ended the no hitter when Marc Lantz lead off the third inning with a solo homerun. |
| The game was capped in the top of the fifth when Team Barilar lit up Ellenberger for five runs. Five consecutive hits, including a two run scoring single by Kyle Barilar and a three run homerun by Adam Miloser, his first of the season, made the score 10-1. Team Smacker put two runs on the board in the bottom of the firth when Ellenberger singled for his first hit of the season, and Lantz drove him in with a two-run homerun, his fourth of the year. |

| Team Barilar continued the onslaught as Blose and Miloser each hit solo homeruns in the top of the fifth. Team Smacker showed slight signs of live in the bottom of the firth when Ellenberger doubled and scored on another Lantz two-run homerun, but those were the final runs scored by Team Smacker.
Blose lead off the top of the sixth with a solo homerun to make the score 13-5. Ellenberger was pulled after the sixth in favor of Lantz who made his first pitching appearance of the season. He retired the side in the top of the seventh allowing only one hit and no runs but Team Smacker could not manage a comeback in the bottom of the seventh. Miloser quickly ended the inning and game by retiring Kayla McGee and Ellenberger to earn the victory. |
