A similar scene played out at Limestone Baptist Church. First Baptist Church 2 fought their way through the loser's bracket. Their opponent was undefeated Mt. Calvary. Mt. Calvary won to complete the championship series.

In another tiebreaker. St. Paul. prevailed 10-7. They would have to defeat Mt. Calvary twice for first place. They did in a pair of close calls, 4-3 and 2-1. Trinity Episcopal Church, who did not participate, won the Sportsmanship Award that was voted on by all churches.
