Through the middle of the sixth inning, Sidwell played a great game against Flint Hill, neck-and-neck. Starter Kaoru Yamazaki was effective and kept the Flint Hill hitters off balance with both his fast ball and his breaking ball working. Through a variety of hits spread throughout the lineup, the Quakers built a tight 5-4 lead heading into the bottom of the sixth inning. Reliever Sammy Singer pitched well and did all he could: opponent hitters were 1 for 8 with a walk and two strikeouts in the bottom of the sixth. Unfortunately, four runners reached on errors -- and what should have been a one-two-three inning was instead a disaster which squandered a hard-earned lead and turned it into a three run deficit.

Not wanting to end the game on such a sour note, the Quakers came out fighting in the seventh. Ted Hefter led off with a bomb double over the left fielder. Oscar Boochever then reached on a single, moving Hefter over to third. Boochever stole second -- but then heard "foul ball" and was tagged out retreating to first base, a turn of events which ended up being most unfortunate. After a strikeout, Ethan Kohn launched a triple into left center and was then knocked in by Yamazaki who hit a double to left. A pop-up left Yamazaki, the tying run, stranded on second. The outcome was particularly frustrating because the removal of any one of about six mistakes in the final two half-innings of the game would have translated into a win or at least forced the Huskies to hit in the bottom of the seventh.
