    Post 383 got on the board early with four runs in the first inning.

Weisser struck out, but then a hit by pitcher Charles Smith scored Thompson to make it 1-0. Right fielder Bill Rhinehart was then hit by a pitch and moved to third on a hit to right by second baseman Larry Lomascola. The hit scored Smith for a 2-0 Oaks lead. The next batter, third baseman Jason Lomascola, doubled to center to score both Rhinehart and Larry Lomascola to make it a 4-0 game.
    Smith put Post 61 down in order in the bottom of the inning and then the Oaks went back to work with another four runs in the top of the second.
    Thompson led off with a double to left and then stole second with Weisser at the plate.

Larry Lomascola doubled to left to score Weisser and Smith and then a fly to center by Jason Lomascola scored Rhinehart to make it an 8-0 game.

    With one out in the top of the fourth, Jason Lomascola hit a ball to short that kicked off the shortstop's glove. Catcher Joe Gaggero followed with a similar hit off the third baseman's glove and then both runners scored on a triple to left center by left fielder Sam Ferra. Center fielder Steve Snider then grounded to second to bring in Ferra from third and give the Oaks a 12-0 lead.

With two outs, consecutive walks to Brian Janowiak and Matt Schirmer loaded the bases and another walk to David Breisacher forced in Chase to make it 14-0.
