Game 17 Reds 1, UTEK 0 August 15, 2004

The Reds have won games during the 2004 season in many different ways. Sunday was probably the strangest. with the Reds leading 1-0 in the second, one of UTEK's players went down with an injury, leaving only eight players. UTEK elected to forfeit the game rather than play with eight, giving the Reds the win. Combined with Moorestown's rainout, the Reds pulled within half-a-game of the Wolfpack for first place in USOTB Southwest. With league president Bob Delihant electing to complete the 18-game season this coming week, a Reds' win over visiting Margate coupled with a Wolfpack loss will give the Reds the division. The Reds already have fourth place overall in the South clinched along with a first round bye.
