Cherry Hill East would jump out to a 7-3 lead after 3 innings just to see Cherokee come within one run in the bottom of the 6th inning. The Cougars would finally hold off Cherokee's rallies to capture the title. They would break open the game in the top of the seventh on Arnold Zappasodi's grand slam, and go on to a 16-7 victory to close the game.
