It was thanks to the efforts of Cromwell goalkeeper Travis Roberts that the Alexandra team were kept to one goal.
Alexandra took the first game on May 25, beating Cromwell 9-4.
Cromwell began the game strongly, with plenty of pressure on the Flames.
Alexandra responded with chances of their own, but despite good scoring opportunities by both sides the first period ended scoreless.
The scoreless game did not last long, however, as Cromwell scored 20 seconds into the second period.
Alexandra responded with a goal of their own with 11 minutes left in the period.
Cromwell once again pulled ahead, scoring three goals within eight minutes.
Roberts stood firm, denying Alexandra the opportunity to stay in the game.
Three minutes into the third period Cromwell scored their fifth goal of the game.
Despite increased pressure, the Flames were unable to get past Roberts.
Flames captain Matthew Elliot said all the Cromwell team played well and they had a good goalie in net.
"Full credit to Cromwell — they played well"
Heading into the decider match, the Flames needed to work out how to get pucks past Roberts and to improve their teamwork, Elliot said.
Elliot said the series had been great so far, and the crowd at the game was one of the best he had seen.
The date of the decider match is to be determined.
The Battle of the Gorge was first played last year, Cromwell winning the Champagne Gully Cup and bragging rights.
