The Shriners got a bit of a boost from some bad Syndicate defense in the first inning. With runners at first and third, Jason Bay hit an RBI single, then moved to second on a mis-play by Justin Upton. Manny Ramirez grounded out, scoring another run. With 2 outs and Greg Zaun at bat, Zaun hit a grounder to Adam Dunn, who bobbled it. Bay scored, and the Shriners were up 3-0 in the first, 2 of them unearned. Adrian Gonzalez added to the Syndicate lead with a solo home run in the third, and Greg Zaun made it 5-0 Shriners with a solo homer in the 6th. The Syndicate put themselves back in the game in the 7th inning. Justin Upton led things off with a solo home run. Troy Tulowitzki singled, and Adam Dunn smacked a 2-run shot. 5-3 Shriners. With 2 outs, Franklin Gutierrez hit a solo home run. 5-4 Shriners. In the 8th inning, Landon Powell tied the game up with a solo tater. 5-5 ballgame, with all Syndicate runs occurring as a result of a home run. Neither team would score in the 9th inning, so the game would go into extra innings. In the top of the 10th, Ronald Belisario was on the mound for the Syndicate. Nick Johnson popped out for out #1. The next batter, Brian Roberts, walked. Pinch hitter Jonny Gomes was plunked, putting runners at first and second. Mike Gonzalez replaced Belisario on the mound. The Shriners took the lead when Adrian Gonzalez smacked a double, scoring 2 runs. The Shriners would go to the bottom of the 10th with a 7-5 lead. Brian Wilson was pitching for the Shriners with a 2-run lead in the bottom of the 10th inning. First batter up, pinch hitter Raul Chavez, struck out. Powell doubled, putting the tying run at the plate. Nick Markakis struck out, putting 2 outs on the board. It was up to Justin Upton to keep the Syndicate from a 0-3 hole in the series, but Upton could not come through. Upton struck out, ending the game. The Shriners win game 3 by a score of 7-5 in 10 innings, and are a victory away from advancing to the CFOD world series.

Shriners (Baker). Fresh off a 2-game winning streak, the Syndicate were looking to make this a 7-game series. San Francisco was looking to finish off the Syndicate once and for all. In the top of the 2nd, Adam Dunn hit a solo home run for a quick 1-0 Syndicate lead. The next run to score would be in the bottom of the 7th, when Greg Zaun doubled, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a Torii Hunter sacrifice fly. In the 8th inning with Troy Tulowitzki at first, Aaron Hill smacked a double. Tulowitzki went for home, and Marco Scutaro threw the ball home, but the ball sailed past the catcher's mitt. Tulowitzki scored and Hill wound up at third on the error. David Wright singled in Hill to give the Syndicate the 3-1 lead. Daric Barton hit a solo home run in the top of the 9th to give the Syndicate a 4-1 lead. No Shriner batter would get to first base in the bottom of the inning, and that was the ballgame. The Syndicate win game 6 by a score of 4-1, and have dug themselves out of an 0-3 series hole to force a decisive game seven, with a ticket to the CFOD world series at stake.
