On the next series, Berlin made it really interesting when Albert Weisigstrauch took a quarterback sneak 59 yards for a score. Sullivan extended the play and found Jens Walter on the two-point conversion, making the score 27-35.

After the Thunder forced a punt they had a chance to tie the game with 2:30 to go. However, Paris's defense stepped up sacking Sullivan on fourth down icing the game. The sack ended what was a valiant comebacker by the Berlin Thunder. 

However, it was too little too late again for Berlin as Paris controlled the clock winning 35-27.  Quarterback Zach Edwards was the game's standout throwing for 182 yards and g and running for 140 on the day.
