******************************************************************* GAME FIVE -- Surfers (Brown) at Destroyers (Reynoso). With the series tied up, the beginning of the rotation would determine who had the inside track at making the conference finals. In the bottom of the 3rd, the Destroyers struck, going up 3-0 on a 3-run blast from David Justice. In the top of the 4th, Will Clark hit a leadoff double, moved to third on a passed ball, and scored on a ground out from Ellis Burks. 3-1 Destroyers after 4. In the top of the 6th inning, with 2 runners on, Charles Johnson grabbed the lead for the Surfers with a 3-run home run. With 2 outs, Geoff Blum hit a solo shot to give Encinitas a 5-3 lead. The Destroyers closed the Surfers lead to 1 in the bottom of the 7th with a solo home run from Damion Easley. But Encinitas pushed the lead back to 2 in the top of the 8th inning with a solo shot from Ellis Burks. The game remained 6-4 Encinitas heading into the bottom of the 9th. Armando Benitez was pitching for the Surfers. First batter up, Tony Gwynn, struck out. Second batter up, Troy Glaus, struck out. And the third batter up, Damion Easley, flied out to end the game. Encinitas wins game 5 by a score of 6-4, and are a win away from advancing to the GT Conference Finals.

(Neagle) at Surfers (Maddux). With the series shifted back to the Surfers home turf for the remainder of the series, the Surfers had just 1 more win to go before they could advance to the conference finals, the Destroyers would need to win the next 2. In the bottom of the 4th, the Surfers put themselves on the board when Kevin Elster walked, moved to third on a David Segui double, and scored on a Henry Blanco sacrifice fly. In the 6th, Dedham tied it up on an RBI double from Todd Helton. The Destroyers took a 2-1 lead in the top of the 7th with a leadoff home run from Troy Glaus. With 2 outs and 2 on, Brian Giles had an RBI single. 3-1 Destroyers heading into the bottom of the inning. The Surfers had a scoring opportunity in the bottom of the 7th, loading the bases with 2 outs. David Segui hit an infield single, scoring a runner to cut Dedham's lead to 1.

The next batter, Charles Johnson, changed the game with 1 swing, sending the ball over the wall for a 2-run home run. Suddenly, Encinitas was up 4-3.
