For the second consecutive inning, Les prevented further damage by retiring Joey and Blose to end the third inning.

Morrison and Frosty were retired in order to keep the score 3-0 after three and a half innings, and Les got into a jam again in the bottom of the fourth.

But for the third straight inning, he retired Joey and Blose, each stranding two runners, and the score remained 3-0.

Les led off the fifth with a single, and Morrison followed with another single to put runners on first and second.

Down five runs and at their last at-bat, the Vaginas rallied. Les led off the inning with a single, but took a spill rounding first and fell hard to the pavement, cutting his hands, arms and legs. It was the most violent spill of the season so far. He brushed himself off though, and advanced to second on a Morrison single. With no outs, Frosty grounded out to left, but put two runners in scoring position for Les. But after a long at-bat with many foul balls, Les struck out to end the game, resulting in a 5-0 shutout for the Fish Sticks.
