Three more CT Energia goals in the fourth period gave them the lead, 9-8. Kampsen scored twice from the field while Ganon added a 40-yard penalty goal. Once again it was Obregon with a pair of goals (one on a penalty conversion), but the lead went to CT Energia, 9-8. For the third consecutive chukker, CT Energia scored three times. Kampsen added a goal from the field while Ganon converted a pair of penalty shots. Tommy Collingwood scored the only goal of the chukker as CT Energia rode off the field with a 12-9 advantage. Bazzoni scored the opening goal of the sixth chukker on a pass from the throw-in, 13-9, but Palm Beach Illustrated wasn’t ready to concede anything. Goals from Collingwood and Michel Dorignac had them within two goals of the lead, 13-11, with nearly three minutes on the clock. Collingwood’s third goal of the day cut the lead to a single goal, 13-12, but there was precious little time on the clock.

Kampsen added four goals with Bazzoni and Manifold accounting for single goals for the win. Obregon scored four of his seven goals from the field. Collingwood added three second half goals while Zenni and Dorignac were held to single goals in the loss.
