Having gone into the must win game rock sitting rock bottom of the standings, Fire will leapfrog Navy to fifth on the six team hierarchy.
Whilst Navy and Fire battled for a maiden win in the season, Braves extended their win share in the league to five following a run over home side Reformers. Braves female team repeated the dose of their male team who walloped Reformers male side last month.
