Next up for the LoCo in the winner's bracket championship was Cruiser's from Indiana. This game saw the LoCo fall behind 6-0 in the top of the first and the Lumber Co. was not able to battle back ultimately losing by a final score of 14-10. In their third game of the day Lumber Co. was matched up with Village Pub with the winner getting a shot a Cruiser's and the tournament title.
