The Flames got off to a fast start in the first inning.  Zach Posterick led off with a bunt single, and Craig Klein walked.  Chris Wehseler grounded into a force play, and Zach scored when the return throw got away from the first basement.  After a strikeout, Derrick Roush singled to right, advancing Chris to second.  Craig Rausch hit a towering homerun to right, giving the Flames an early 4-0 lead.

Farming scored singled runs in the fourth and fifth innings.  In the fourth, Derrick led off with a long double and eventually scored on an RBI ground by Craig.  In the fifth, Zach doubled and scored on an RBI groundout by Chris.

The Flames are now 3-3 in the Stearns County League-South Division, which is good for third place.  The Flames have a two-game lead over St. Martin.
