In game two, Joe Coppola, Scotty Lobel, Ryan Flynn and Jon Difiorio each chipped in a hit and Ryan Flynn fired 2.2 shutout innings to propel New York Nine to victory vs Team Xtreme by a score of 8-6.

The final contest vs the St Louis Prospects brought together two undefeated (5-0) teams with the winner advancing to the national final four. Scotty Lobel allowed only two runs in a complete game, but unfortunately fell to the Prospects by a count of 2-1. The Nine plated their lone run when Lobel crossed the plate on a Berardi groundout. The game ended on an unbelievable play by the Prospects left fielder as he layed out on a Lodes missile, which would have plated Difiorio with ease. The Rookies finished with a remarkable 5-1 record, representing the organization professionally both on and off the field.
