Wings Forward Jamar Beasley struck first and fast for the Wings, scoring two quick goals early in the second quarter to tie up the game at 4 apiece, but Adauto Neto responded quickly with a long goal behind the three point line putting Baltimore ahead 7-4. Another 3 pointer was scored by Pat Healey with 1:31 to play in the second quarter- putting Baltimore up 10-4 at halftime.
Even with defensive adjustments made by the Wings at halftime, the Wings were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities in the third quarter. Late in the third quarter Blast Forward Max Ferdinand slid one past Wings Goal keeper Sanaldo Carvalho, putting Baltimore up 12-4.
Early in the fourth quarter Wings Forward Carlos "Chile" Farias pulled one back scoring a sensational goal against Blast's Goal Keeper Sagu, however the late surge of the Wings all star appeared to be too little too late.
