The NWL stars put together a hitting clinic as they pounded out 19 hits en route to the 11-5 victory over the PIO stars.

In the bottom half of the frame, the PIO stars answered back with four runs with the big blow coming from a two run shot off the bat of D.J. Peters.
The very next inning, the NWL stars put the game away for good adding seven runs on seven hits highlighted by a two-run triple from Cavan Biggio, RBI single from Filia and a two-run dinger from Gio Brusa.
