Shortstop Jeff Trout, who entered the game with a .473 batting average and 10 doubles among his 35 season hits, delivered the game-wining hit on a line drive to left-center with one out and the bases loaded. The bottom of the Thunderbolts' (18-8) batting order accounted for six of the team's seven hits and started the winning rally. Monte Hitchner singled to open the seventh, but his picked off by Kowaleski.

Doug Bailey followed with a swinging bunt single, Todd Kirstein singled to center, and Brett Quinnlaid down an attempted sacrifice bunt which ended up as a bases-filling single. "We bunted to try and get the tying run to third base for Trout," said Millville coach Tony Surace. "You can't keep good hitters down for long, and you wouldn't want to send anybody else up there for Trout. He's come through for us several times in that spot." Township (19-6) had taken a 2-1 lead with a pair of runs in the fourth inning off Millville's Jeff Beebe (8-3, 6 strikeouts). Joe Cipol-loni belted a 320-foot home run to left, Fred Fiorentino followed with a single, and scored on Kevin Cauley's double.
