Grand Prairie 14, New Jersey 4

The Grand Prairie AirHogs started off strong and didn't look back as they took an inter-league affair from New Jersey 14-4. The AirHogs scored before even registering an out in the top of the first when CF Keanon Simon scored on a double by 2B Bryan Frichter after reaching on a lead-off single. Simon finished the game with a team-high three RBI and three hits in six at bats. After tacking on two more in the second the AirHogs opened up the game in the third with six runs.

Fargo-Moorhead 16, Winnipeg 7
