SCHAUMBURG, IL - The Fielders made it easy for the Flyers to score early, as Garry Bakker walked seven Flyers in the first two innings. On the home side, however, Brett Harker had another solid start pitching seven innings while allowing two runs on six hits with three strikeouts.

After two quick 1-2-3 innings for Harker, Chris Schultz would get things going again for the Flyers, leading off the bottom of the fourth with a double, and eventually scoring off of Delgado's groundout. Joey Gomes followed with a RBI double and Ron Bourquin would follow him with an RBI single to score three runs in the inning and pushing the lead to 7-0.
In the fifth inning, Juan Valdez would put the Fielders on the board with a two-run home run, but the Flyers would get one back in the bottom of the inning from Ruddy Yan's RBI groundout.
