Ellis Park made an ideal start to the game by jumping to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning thanks to a two-run Adam Mathieson double.
But Waverley chipped away with runs in the second, fifth and sixth, and scores were tied 3-3 going into the final inning. Justin Price immediately doubled, Jason Crosbie walked, and an error and a single later. Waverley had scored three times to take control of the game.
Ellis Park found the going much easier in the early game when it walloped Dodgers 16-3 through four innings.
It scored three runs in each of the first two innings, and five in both the third and fourth, as rising Dodgers pitcher Ben Watts had a rare bad day on the mound.
Scott Dundas was Ellis Park's batting star, whacking a three-run homer in the third inning and scoring two with a triple in the fourth.
Dodgers was not helped by some poor fielding, with two errors in each of the third and fourth innings.
Dodgers bounced back with a 14-7 win over Cardinals through five innings, the highlight of which was an extraordinarily brutal 11-run burst at the bottom of the first inning.
Cardinals made an early mid-inning pitching change, inserting Crete Whaanga for Joshua Ludlow, and it did not pay dividends.
Whaanga immediately gave up a three-run homer to Craig Watts, and both subsequent batters (Watts and Jamie Robinson) also cleared the fence.
In the final game, the competition-leading Saints cruised to an 8-2 win over Cardinals.
Tim Howard and Travis McIntosh hit homers in the second inning, but Saints did most of its damage in the sixth, when it scored five runs with two outs.
