Queens got a run back in the top of the fourth inning, but Dominican regained a four run lead (5-1), scoring in the bottom stanza as Marco Moreno (Miami, FL) hit a sacrifice fly ball to center field to score Iglesias, who had led off the inning with a walk.

QC added two runs in the sixth and added three more runs in the top of the eighth to take a 6-5 advantage, but DC tied the game (6-6) in the bottom of the eighth as Bonilla worked a two-out walk, stole second, advanced to third on an infield single and stole home.

In the bottom of the ninth, Tony Blake (Windsor, CT) singled to left field with one out and stole second to get into scoring position.  An error on a failed pick-off attempt allowed him to move to third and he scored on the game-winning single to left center by Camardella for the 7-6 victory.

Camardella led the Chargers offensively with two hits and three RBIs, while Bonilla, Iglesias and Blake each scored two runs a-piece.
