Steve Stevenson hit a home run for the Gun Show and Bailey Karloff hit one for the pirates.
The Lighthouse/IGA Brewers also beat Gilligan's Pub.
On Wednesday, July 31, Custom Carpet edged Gilligan's 11-9.
Gilligan's jumped out to an early lead, but after a team meeting on the mound and a heroic play at the plate by catcher Aaron Hately, Custom was able to stop Gilligan's from extending their lead.
Custom then got some timely offence courtesy of a Brennan Myers' home run. Matt Cookney had a stellar night defensively at third base along with the eventual go-ahead RBI to seal the victory.
In the other Wednesday game, Pirates beat the RJS Blue Jays 18-6.
Jasmine Nebocat had a solid outing on the mound and James Pomfret hit a big home run.
