Cats Evans was not having the best of days, and it all ended for him on a grand slam homerun by Jose Rodriguez in the 5th. "I just couldn't get enough movement on my zig", said Evans following the game. "For great justice." This ties the series at a game apiece and throws homefield advantage to runner-up Mexico City.

To avoid going down two games to none, the Monarchs brought in their ace Cameron "London Fog" Boden for this one, and he - or, it should be said, the defense behind him - was masterful. Boden stranded 8 baserunners over the course of this game and also induced 2 double plays in more or less shutting down the Revolution offense. The series is now even and headed to London.
