The intense finals match unfolded until the bottom of the 5th inning, with the score deadlocked at 1-1. Darius Chua found himself hit by a pitch, prompting Charlotte Tok to step in as the pinch runner. Following this, RenaiseNg came up to bat and delivered a powerful single past the shortstop, pushing Charlotte to advance to 2nd base.
Subsequently, Ryniel Tan attempted a bunt, but despite the effort, he couldn't execute it successfully, ultimately striking out after working his way to a full count. The pressure mounted as Taedeus Teo stepped up to the plate. After fouling off the first pitch, he patiently waited for a low ball on the second. With his focus sharpened, he connected with the next pitch, sending it soaring over the left fielder's head.
In an electrifying moment, Taedeus's hit brought both Charlotte and Renaise home, concluding the game in a stunning walk-off home run. The final score stood at 1-4, solidifying their victory in a thrilling climax.
