Whilst the Johannesburg Gold were climbing the standings going 5-2 and the Athens Fighting Centaurs slipping down the standings going 2-4 in the week. Two hitters were going toe to toe, on Thursday Rajko Lovre of the Moscow Thunder Bears and Red Benson of the Jerusalem Hebrew Hammers were hitting like MVP's.

It was Lovre who struck first with a single in the top of the 1st, however Benson struck in the bottom of the 1st with a 2 run homer which helped five Jerusalem a 4-0. Benson hit a single in the bottom of the 2nd but didn't trouble the scoreboard, Lovre mirrored what Benson had done in the bottom of the 1st by hitting a 2 run homer in the top of the 3rd to end the inning Moscow 2 - Jerusalem 5.

In the bottom of the 4th Benson singled to knock in a run and when the inning finished Jerusalem were up by a 6-2 score, Lovre got on base again this time with a walk, a Godofredo 'The Sanger' Chucha homer earlier in the inning cut Jerusalem's lead to a 6-3 score.

Benson struck again in the bottom of the 6th with his second 2 run homer to turn the scoreboard over to 8-2 in it only finish his cycle but to pull the finishing favour, in the top of the 8th Lovre got within a triple of the cycle when he hit a double. Benson finished his work with a single in the bottom of the 8th to finish 5 hits of 6 at bats whilst knocking in 5 runs batted in and also gaining player of the game honours. Lovres day hadn't finished though although with the score 12-3 to Jerusalem it would take a miracle to get the W. The miracle never came, however Lovre did get his triple to finish his cycle and help the Bears pull closer to the Hammers to finish the score Moscow Thunder Bears 7 - Jerusalem Hebrew Hammers 12.
